Lichfield Cathedral
Latest Reviews
My first visit to this delightful City. The towers of the Cathedral dominate the countryside for miles around. The building is steep in medieval history and architecture which suits me as a lover of English history, I found my tour to be very informative and the volunteers helpful. The west front presents a magnificent site when approached from The Close. A walk round the precincts is also a must, but take a guide book with you !

Very suprised how rich and inspiring the cathedral was. It is a place of great beauty and much history. What I did like it was free to enter but asked for donations (which we freely gave). Although a service was on at the time it added to the calm we felt. Would highly recommend.

Finally cathedral visit this holiday. Quite striking from outside, a lot of statues line the frontage to the building. The stonework is quite discoloured outside, due to pollution, but doesn't detract from the overall appearance. Inside it's free to enter, but you are encouraged to give a donation. Lots of metal work inside, gates, fencing, balustrades etc. All very different in design.

Open day and weekend events. Music events and classic architecture. All free to view. Not usually my place to visit but this was worth it.

This is a place that takes your breath as soon as you enter. The ceilings and the stained glass especially in the lady chapel is amazing. They do not charge but do accost you on the way in suggesting you make a donation there and then.
Still it is still up to you and when you think the cost of upkeep for these places a donation does help.
Well worth a visit and the display screens with info around the place make the visit really enjoyable

A beautiful Cathedral with the most amazing architecture. Free admission but it is good to leave a donation. It is very impressive to wander around and take in the atmosphere.
Gorgeous stain glass windows, we have visited a few times and each time it has the most amazing feel to it.
You could take a picnic and sit on the grass but the river is a few minutes walk away,
but there is the most lovely cafe across the road , The cloisters cafe, with home made food and delicious cakes.

A wonderful night & well organised. The acoustic's & lighting were excellent. But the highest accolade has to go to the Garrick Youth singers who were just wonderful. X X X

Amazing church in nondescript town. Spectacular, unexpected grandeur. The front facade in particular unbelievable. Many lovely stained glass windows to see.

Well worth a walk round the cathedral and the surroundings. You seem to get lost in the atmosphere it seems so surreal

Absolutely loved listening to the Lichfield Youth Theatre last night however 2 hours and 30 mins in hard back wooden chairs was not at all comfy

If you reading this you're probably considering a visit. Definitely go - you won't regret it. The stonework is awe-inspiring and the newly renovated stain glass windows are stunning. If this building was in an European capital city it would be a major tourist attraction.

A beautiful cathedral with many interesting things to see inside and out. Entry is free with donations encouraged to help keep the cathedral open.

We visited in the evening light, but could not go inside as there was a music/choral concert. Would have gone back the following morning, but need to return home.

Stunning cathedral. Great staff who answered any questions we had. Would have liked to go on guided tour had time allowed. One of the nicest cathedrals we have visited.

This majestic and interesting cathedral is certainly one to visit. It is free and is very ornate both inside and out. There is a free leaflet which helps you understand what you are looking at (donations are optional)

No matter how many times I venture into this building it never ceases to please. During this weeks Lichfield Festival 2017 I was fortunate to patronise this gem on several occasions. Hearing Gospel Choirs, The Halle, the BBC Concert Orchestra, the Sixteen - all gained an edge above and beyond the norm in this ethereal palace with excellent acoustic. I was pleased with an apparent change of attitude from the Cathedrals front of house staff. A new warmth and relaxed nature made a significant difference to the pleasure experienced.

Two of us revisited Lichfield and its Cathedral and spent longer taking in all the wonderful details of its interior. A marvellous place of worship along with its place in history as seen through the architecture.
