Lichfield Cathedral
Latest Reviews
Wow! What an amazing building, it literally took our breath away, then to be told it was free to enter but could donate if you wanted to, we gave generously and did our tour, very interesting facts and history to be absorbed while wondering through the different areas of the cathedral. I would recommend a visit it was awesome.

Nice to see no compulsary entrance fee but happily gave a donation. The cathedral is lovely and interesting but not on an epic scale. Staff were very pleasant and helpful.

Such a joy to be at the Ordinations on Sunday 2nd July - the levels of professionalism I haven't encountered in a Cathedral in quite some time. The music and liturgy was flawless - came away somewhat exhilarated by a stellar occasion. Well done to all who evidently worked so hard to ensure such a joyful event.

This building is truly wonderful. From the multitude of figures on the front facade to the historical flags and military memorabilia for local regiments. There are lots of surprises too. The Cathedral also has a shop opposite the front entrance. My visitors were very impressed.

We visited late afternoon and took the opportunity to attend Evensong, which was beautiful.
We have visited many Cathedrals it is a good way of seeing something of our country, and Lichfield is up there with the best of them plus very unusually there is no entrance charge, they exist on donations.

Loved it. I coincided with the Eucharistic Service & it was a great opportunity to simply stop & re-focus in a hectic week.

Sadly we didn't have as long as we had hoped for to take in this splendid Cathedral. The approach itself is amazing, with its three spires! The sand stone facade is very dark but I guess it might be very difficult to clean it.
It is free to enter this place of worship but donations towards its enormous upkeep are appreciated, especially if you gift aid.
The ceiling is hugely vaulted and intricate. Heavenly stain glass windows, tombs of famous people and saints. The floor in front of the alters is so beautiful. We would have loved to spent more time there. It is a pity that the Coffee Shop is down the road a little next to the two toilets. The gardens in the vicinity are well worth a look too.

All our medieval cathedrals are magnificent and Lichfield is no exception. Its setting in the classic cathedral close is particularly harmonious and the riot of statues on the west front is breathtaking. Staffordshire's historic industry has sadly blackened its glorious local red sandstone but its interior is very lovely. No visit to the city is complete without a visit.

well worth a visit if you are in Lichfield. On the day we went there was an Art Exhibition A painting had been donated to the Cathedral and once the Exhibition has finished it will be auctioned off with the proceedings going to the Cathedral. Even without the Art it is still worth the tour.

A place to go if you are in midlands. Stunning building and stained glass windows! Free but you should make a donation to the charity to keep this place open for tourists!

Lichfield cathedral towers over the city with its triple steeples. If you think the outside architecture is craftsmanship you will be more than impressed with the inside.
The Stained Glass windows are superb and there are plenty of interesting tombs.
The altar is a work of art as is most of the interior and these craftsmen did it by hand, you would be hard pressed to see craftsmen of this caliber today.
Take a close look at the carved figures on the outside and think how long it must have taken to achieve.
The interior is full of beautiful carvings.
Behind the Cathedral is a lovely lake and grounds and behind that the main council car park which charges £1 per hour. For sat nav users this is on Bird Street. and all this just two minutes walk away.
Admission to the Cathedral is free but worth a donation.
Also, just a few minutes walk is the city center with a good range of shops and. But take the time to explore as you will find a few hidden gems around.

Spend some time to appreciate the amazing exterior of this marvellous building but do not miss the wonderful stained glass inside.

It's difficult to grasp that this place of worship dates back to the 6th Century. Steeped in history, it sets in stone (!) the progress of Christianity in England. We had the benefit of an official guide who pointed out so much detail. Without this help it may be difficult to grasp the significance of this extraordinary monument

Lichfield is a small city and the Cathedral dominates it. Lovely cathedral with so much history and atmosphere. I stopped off on a journey up North and was conveniently close to M6. Nice café just down the road too.

A great morning spent visiting a massive medieval church (free of charge!!), which contains plenty of history to take in. The sheer size of the church with its detailed exterior is truly intimidating as it towers over the town of Lichfield.

An absolutely gorgeous mediaeval cathedral in picturesque Lichfield. Worth a detour and a couple of hours to explore.

We were greeted by a lovely woman who ensured the child with us had the specially designed children's trail guide and told us about and where to find the exhibition with the Turner painting that we had specifically come to see.
We had a look around the entire Cathedral and spent around 45m-1h.
Around the cathedral were interactive information points which were interesting.
We all enjoyed our visit.
