We'd been before and wanted to show friends the stained glass in particular. The Christmas tree display, and the nativity scene, were impressive. Good ambience too; music and a few words reminding us that Christmas is a celebration of the start off christianity.

We went to see this magnificent cathedral and it looked stunning as it was all decorated for Christmas with the Christmas trees all nicely decorated by the community.
There's a small gift shop as well as some historic buildings nearby.
Entry is free, although please give a donation to keep the cathedral open.

Definitely worth a visit if you go to Lichfield, not a big cathedral as cathedrals go but plenty to look at and obviously very beautiful, makes a nice change that’s it’s free to enter (which all places of worship should be) which sadly as time goes by are becoming less and less across the country.
Always leave a donation though :-)

A beautiful cathedral, in a great city. A stones throw from the city centre. Accessible to all. Gift shop is across the street in one of the medieval buildings in the cathedral close.

Very beautiful Catherdral inside and out. As I went in December there were a great many Christmas trees that had been decorated by many different schools, businesses, organistations for a charity competition and they were all lovely to see. The architecture is wonderful and it is truly worth a visit if you are in Lichfield.

Went to see a 'light show' they do from time to time inside the cathedral, have to say I'd never really looked that closely at the building itself. It is lovely inside, but outsdie can only be described as spectacular. We go on about historic sites in France and Italy etc, but this place is a 1000 years old and truly spectacular. Defintely worth a visit

Our visit took place on a cold and damp afternoon in November, but the welcome inside the Cathedral made us forget the weather outside. We were made to feel very welcome and were offered all the information and help to make the most of our visit. The building is very exceptional and we can't wait to visit again to see all the features we certainly would have missed on our first visit.

We moved to Lichfield a year ago and have been here three times now. A lovely peaceful place. I have previously been to Exeter cathedral and also the one at Birmingham. They all lovely and inspiring cathedrals. Whilst Exeter is a bit more commercial and still enjoyable I found this one more peaceful and you are able to enjoy the surroundings in a more thoughtful and low key atmosphere.

The cathedral is very beautiful. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. Also the cathedral is free which is most unusual these days

Beautiful, working cathedral at the centre of its community. Attended for a concert involving the children from the primary where I am a governor. Remarkable, spacious interior and a great example of what cathedrals contribute to their environs when they are run in the right way.

Beautiful is all I need to say. Could have spent so much longer wandering around this beautiful building. A real harbour in a sea of emotions.

This beauty is not just architecturally and historically important, it still plays a major part in the community. Whether it is for the arts with concerts and art displays or children’s messy church, lichfield cathedral IS special and you should plan a visit. Make a day of it and enjoy the rest of lichfield too.

Just an Awesome building! A must visit place! Stunning architecture and a lot of history, well informed guides make the visit enjoyable too.

This is a really beautiful building, amazing architecture and we enjoyed looking around and learnt many interesting facts. It is free to go in, but they do ask for donations to help with the upkeep of the cathedral, which we gave willingly and I hope others do too as it's truly stunning but is expensive to keep open to the public.
