Lichfield Cathedral
Latest Reviews
My experience of the Cathedral was rather esoteric, being a member of a visiting choir singing there. However, I also experienced the building as a typical visitor, and was equally impressed in both guises. Staff and volunteers are uniformly helpful and welcoming and the building itself, which can be seen from across the city, was wonderful. The current moon exhibition meant that some of the Grand vistas inside were rather cluttered and the nave felt rather like a tourist attraction than a place of worship. However, the east end of the building more than made up for it.

Enjoyed looking round this cathedral and learning more about it's history. Volunteers were friendly and helpful and it is nice that you give a donation and not a set entry fee. The current space exhibition gave added interest as we looked round. The stonework inside and outside is amazing as is the wood carving inside.

Don't miss this magnificent Cathedral in the Midlands. An hour will reward the visitor for a lifetime. Be sure to lift all of the literature on display as there's plenty to read later. Good shop, donations accepted for the church's upkeep.

Beautiful cathedral that you can spend a few hours at in a visit if you go to Lichfield. I went for an evening event so I didn't get to enjoy seeing the cathedral inside during the daytime. There is a lovely coffee shop nearby called Chapter's where you can get refreshments. One of the best cathedrals I've visited in the UK.

Set in an attractive unspoilt cathedral close, this beautiful building is well worth a visit. The three spires are very distinctive and the stone carvings of berobed characters on the outside of the building are in wonderful condition. The stained glass is stunning and the vaulted roof spectacular. (Having just read the novel The Pillars of the Earth about the people who built such buildings, it is even more awe inspiring)
The evening we visited there was the extra treat of a light show. The juxtaposition of the modern with the ancient worked brilliantly. Highly recommended.

This wonderful cathedral is now hosting “Space,God , The Universe and Everything” a spell-binding light event that encapsulates the awesomeness of God’s creation & Man’s mission to reach out to our universe. Do not miss the opportunity to visit and be enthralled!

Lichfield Cathedral is one of the most beautiful in the UK, the three spires can be seen from a distance and for me welcome me home. The Cathedral itself dates back in part to c700 AD and is full of treasures and artefacts. There is also a strong connection with the military with Lichfield having been the birth City of the Staffordshire Regiment. It is possible to organize a tour around the Cathedral part of which takes you up into the roof, well worth while. It also houses the famous sculpture of The Sleeping Children.

Cathedral looked dirty from the outside which detracts from its beauty. Wasn’t impressed with the plastic moon map. It was good to see it being used for activities other than church services and fortunately it’s big enough that there are also quiet places for those seeking quiet time.

I was here to sing in a concert so unfortunately there was no time for a proper look round because all cathedrals are interesting. Perhaps next time.

The cathedral is a great sandstone edifice sitting close to an antient body of water. The inside is unusual in that beyond the screen it at a slight angle. The staff are knowledgeable, cheerful, and patient and the organ sounds as good as any I have heard.

A real insight to the area history and of how the cathedral became what it is today.
A worth while visit for all the family.
