Lichfield Cathedral
Latest Reviews
We were there to watch a performance of Les mis by the Lichfield youth theatre. The whole evening was something special. The beauty and elegance of the cathedral, the general cheery atmosphere given off by all the helpers on entering the building. The show was full of young talent that will go onto stages all over the country/ world in the near future. The orchestra, sound and lightning was perfect for the setting. Well done to everyone who made the night so special.

Worth a visit if you are in the town. Right in the centre and full of history. Free entry. Quite amazing how the builders managed to create such a structure all those years ago

We walked up to the Cathedral and was very impressed with the size and details on the stonework before we even got inside.
We received a warm welcome and was provided with a small map that pointed out things to see. It was bright inside and we could take our time to look at everything. There was a tour as well if you wanted to have things explained and pointed out in more detail. Tower tours are aslo available at a small charge but wasn't running on the day we visited.
Definitely worth visiting as one of the best cathedrals we have had the pleasure to visit. There is also a small gift shop inside or you can visit a larger one just over the road from the front of the cathedral at the end of your visit.

The free to enter Cathedral offers opportunities to enjoy that sacred space whilst also glimpsing into the history of the building. They also offer additional portals into times gone by: today it was WW1 and poetry. The use of technology to powerfully portray the use fo poetry combined with the travesty of war was breathtaking. The guides available for all at no extra cost enabled an understanding of the various areas of the Cathedral. It was good to be able to stop and pause at Midday and pray for the world, led by the clergy. No obligation but very pleasant in these days of rush and pace to stop and reflect. The shop was discreetly kept to one side of the entrance and the welcomers were not in any way looking for donations merely informing you of the need for donations for the upkeep of the building if you could afford it.

Decided to visit for the afternoon with some friends from overseas - Have been before and thought worth another longer look. I like the fact that they do not charge an entrance fee but ask for donations - I understand must cost an arm and leg to keep these places open, but do not agree with a fixed entrance charge - at the end of the day it is the House Of God, so should be free......

Fantastic architecture and loads of memorials going back into history. Nice visit to pay respects to my godfather as I could attend his funeral.

Outstanding cathedral! It has got tower tours, so don't miss it, as it is quite good tour. Also, it is very unusual cathedral, I never seen anything like this before!
They have got a very good choir- pleasant to listen.
And I would ask people to kindly donate (at least a pound), this would keep our cathedrals 'going'.
Also, I have been there for a concert- no words- amazing! It was a Seth Leikeman concert. Wow, wow, wow!

In the several years since I last visited Lichfield Cathedral, I'd forgotten just how impressive it is. Sitting above the picturesque Minster Pool, the three sandstone spires dominate the Cathedral Close and the city below. Its interior is equally grand and was surprisingly quiet when we were there allowing for unhurried enjoyment of its architecture, stained glass and other treasures. Highlights for us were the Chapter House and the unusual St Chad's Head Chapel accessed by a staircase from the south choir aisle.

We were lucky enough to have a guided tour of the cathedral which we all found fascinating. A beautiful building.

We hadn't been to Lichfield for several years so were keen to recall our experiences. On this visit we were pleasantly surprised to find that photography is now free because on previous visits we were charged a fee. The walk around the interior was fascinating, especially as we were entertained by a brilliant choir who were rehearsing. The guides were all helpful without being too pushy. Altogether a very enjoyable experience.

This cathedral is unique for its architecture, red stone and historical old bibles. During Easter week 2018 they presented the stations of the cross very effectively.

The cathedral always looks beautiful inside and staff are very friendly and welcoming. It is in a beautiful setting next to Minster and Stowe Pools. A perfect place for a quiet few moments... before continuing shopping around this lovely old city

Superb and in excellent condition, staff were wonderful and atmosphere tranquil yet inspiring. There was organ practice for the Easter service and we had the place to ourselves which was fantastic.

Well worth a visit. This stunning gothic cathedral with beautiful Flemish stained glass windows is definitely a ‘must visit’ if you are in the area. Plenty of history attached to it and the house of Erasmus Darwin, now a museum, is nearby,

This cathedral was badly damaged and rebuilt in Victorian times. There isn't a charge to get in but you are invited to gift aid any donations given. It is an amazing place and the stain glass windows are unbelievable.
Most of the cathedral can be seen from ground level.

Best cathedral for me in the UK !!. Always feel great when visiting here. Free entry/donation only. Visited with my wife and mother on Easter Sunday afternoon. Even had the luck to hear the choir practising prior to their service in the evening.

Stopping just for one night in Litchfield my daughter and myself visited the cathedral. Fascinating place to look around, very peaceful and picturesque. Not being religious as such my daughter and myself enjoy the architecture of Cathedrals and have visited quite a few when we have been out and about in different cities/towns. Lincoln Cathedral is probably one of the nicest we have seen but Litchfield also came very close. The stained window designs in the ladies chapel is quite something to see, and there was an interactive tool which gave details of how the glass was sought and transported and the origin of the glass, it also gave details of each pane of the windows, all very fascinating.
The external and internal architecture is very intricate and fascinating workmanship.
Definitely worth a visit if you've got a spare couple of hours

Our British family wanted to show us this cathedral. It is magnificent and wonderful. Just like Notre Dame cathedral without all the queue.

Lovely place full of history including memorabilia of the Staffordshire Regiment. The place is a great place to visit.

Oh what a impressive cathedral, probably the best that I have visited, and I have visited quite a few. The exterior is breath-taking and the inside is not to be outdone. I was disappointed that time was limited due to being on a coach trip as I would have loved to have spent much more time. The upkeep of both the internal and external are exceptionally well preserved, and I was delighted that no fee was charged at entry. I more than happily donated on leaving. This building is well worth a visit and I would love to return should I be in the area.

This is a fantastic Cathedral right in the centre of Lichfield and very easy to access. The structure really showcases the work that has gone into producing a beautiful experience. We really enjoyed the experience. Thank you for keeping this alive.
