Stunning building. Definitely worth a visit when in Lichfield. Stained glass is fabulous to see. Choir was practicing when we were there and their voices were beautiful.

A glorious location and wonderful building. A pleasant coffee shop in the Close as well as a good little shop and more toilets than you usually find in many English Cathedrals.

Lichfield Cathedral is simply stunning. The architecture, history, windows, quiet areas, artefacts, Staffordshire Hoard exhibition and various books are a revelation. Free entry is a bonus and the tour guides are very knowledgeable. You could wander around this place for hours there's so much to see. How it survives on donations who knows but this needs supporting.

An absolute must see if you are in the area. Free entry but donations can be given. The chapter House closes at 4 so ensure you see that first.

Very impressed by this lovely cathedral. I was particularly impressed by the intelligent and sensitive way they've dealt with the fraught issue of charging for admission. There is an admission desk, issuing tickets in order to keep track of visitor numbers. Donations are encouraged but in a gentle way. It's a good compromise.
Much to see and admire in the building. We took a 45-minute guided tour, which was superb - the guide was articulate, well-informed, interesting.

My partner and I went to Lichfield for a weekend and went to look at the cathedral .it's easy to find and is free to enter they ask if you want to donate. While in the cathedral we was over weld over the size inside. There is a lot of interesting things to see and take photo's while in the area it's well worth taking a look at.

We received a warm welcome on entry and everyone connected to the Cathedral was very friendly. The architecture is truly awe inspiring. The setting was beautiful. We were lucky to have visited on a warm, late summer's day and so took advantage of the gardens outside.

Such a beautiful building, plenty to look at, and there was a craft table for children to enjoy.

We often come to Lichfield for an afternoon and always manage to pop in to the cathedral. It's always been a place in our personal history from a visit during my confirmation journey, our vicar becoming a deacon and just feeling at home here. Very serene and lovely. It has a history beyond imagining, which you need to look into. Also, pop over to the shop (No9 across from the entrance). Lovely staff over there and a friendly cat.

This was my first visit to the cathedral in almost 20 years. I was stunned by the beauty of the interior of the building. The guided tour was excellent, and it was a joy to visit the Chapter house for the first time. I needto spend more time here.

If you have a spare hour in Lichfield then Lichfield Cathedral is a real gem of a Cathedral due to it being the principle Cathedral of Mercia.

Had a good look around the cathedral and was particularly interested in the regimental battle honours and colours laid to rest over the door.

I now live in Lichfield and the cathedral is one of my favourite places to visit. It's a beautiful piece of history which can be appreciated by people of all ages. Really well kept and all the staff are incredibly polite and helpful.

Also, if you're ever in the area for their light shows, make sure you get a ticket! They have them a few times a year and they are just magical.

A definite place to visit!

I hadn't even heard of Lichfield cathedral until last Christmas and that is criminal! It is richly exquisite, inside and out. I particularly liked that there was actual worship going on, it is a Christian cathedral in use rather than "a pretty building". In fact I liked it so much I went back and gave them my entrance donation (no set fee) again at the end. In the chapter house the Anglo-Saxon artefacts are just amazing - 1300 year old gospel, anyone?

The cathedral in Lichfield is constantly changing, it is a true tourist attraction. the Shop at Number 9 can provide information on ticketed events and the coffee houses on the outskirts of the cloisters are affordable and convenient.

The cathedral itself is well maintained and has lots of history and things to see. if you are in the area its worth taking a small detour to spend 30 - 60 min exploring the inside.

they hold numerous events over the course of the year which are published on the website and worth incorporating into your visit if you can.
