very beautiful cathedral indeed. The staff were very helpful too. It is "free " to enter, though a donation is expected. Very enjoyable though.

Beautiful cathedral . A bit disappointed that the exhibits from the Staffordshire Haul were away being further researched.

Very beautiful, worth a look around, a shame the Staffordshire hoard was not on view at the time though.

A beautiful building. So much to see. Regardless of ones religious convictions it is a must to see because of its architectural beauty. Not only that but the atmosphere is such that it can almost be physically felt.

I visited Lincoln Cathedral with friends. This beautiful building is located in a pleasant 'Close' with a Shop, Café and Erasmus Darwin's (Separate Attraction) dotted about in different buildings. Before entering the Cathedral do take note of the fantastic statues above the entrance of the Kings of England!
Inside, a warm welcome awaits with one of the Stewards who promptly greeted us and gave us information about the main sights to see around the building. Like most Cathedrals, it is important to look in all directions to see the various carvings, statues and decorations. Lichfield is famous for being home to the Staffordshire Hoard but, at the time of visiting, it was not on show as additional research was being done on it. Their is also a two-tiered chapterhouse with Library tours available at certain times of the year on the second floor. It's a shame that Lichfield has no Tower Tour at present but I was informed that this may be re-introduced at some point.
For a free attraction, Lichfield Cathedral is a must if you happen to be visiting the area. The Cathedral Coffee Shop is also worth a quick stop for some nice cake and a drink to!

Stunning architecture. Worth a visit while you are in the area. Stroll through the town, over the river past the ducks and up to the three spires. It is free to enter, although they ask for donations. Interesting to see the history. There was a service underway when we visited but they don't mind you wandering around. Gift shop inside and a nice cafe opposite.

well worth the trip to see the cathedral ,the staff are helpfull and friendly ,charming shopping area and nice choice of different shops but very much let down by the rubbish about the city the train station toilets smell rubbish again on floor ,came out and across bus station and again rubbish about on the ground not a good welcome for visitors to your city ,the stations bus and train are only small so i would expect them to be clean and more appealing they are not ,clean the place up or you will loose visitors to what could be a beautiful place.

Lichfield has a number of attractions, but the Cathedral is its jewel - magnificent in every way, inside and out! Apart from its architecture, the atmosphere is so very special. They also have a number of music concerts arranged throughout the year and to experience one of these in such surroundings and in such acoustics, is a real thrill!
If you don't do anything else this year - visit this marvel!

A truly beautiful Cathedral inside as well as outside. When we entered we were greeted by a guide who asked if we had been before, her knowledge of the history of the Cathedral was very interesting. I had gone on a rather sad day as my uncle had passed away and wanted to go to the Lady Chapel to light a candle for the family. The guide was very kind and escorted me, I was also able to put in a prayer request which she assured me would be read out. Well worth a visit.

Attended evensong at the Cathedral, did not know it was on but started whilst I was there and was asked if I would like to attend. It was fabulous. Such history of this fine building and a place to spend a few hours wandering around to take in its glory.

Just a two minute walk from the rabid consumerism that passes for Christmas you can find, essentially for free, this stunningly beautiful portal to the history of civilisation - whatever your faith. My thirteen year old son and I visited on the spur, we made a small contribution, we found our way to the Chapter House - a thousand year old room - and stood within inches of a book that is three hundred years older than Domesday. We were helped and informed by a lovely, very knowledgeable woman who I believe was a volunteer. There is a story to discover in every stone of this great vessel. If you need to restore your faith in existence now that you've got through another Christmas visit Lichfield Cathedral.

Breathtakingly beautiful when you arrive at the cathedral set in lovely surroundings. We received a helpful and particularly warm welcome from the staff/volunteers. It was beautiful inside and we even learnt some history from a helper when looking at the Staffordshire Hoard. Although we made a donation, it was nice that this was a free attraction as well.

The cathedral is very beautiful and very well maintained. The staff are very good and happy to answers questions. The Stained glass windows are a sight to see and study. How was it possible that such a magnificent building could be built all those years ago without modern technology. This time of the year is very special and well worth a visit to the Cathedral and surrounding areas a very calming experience.

We were meeting up with some friends for the weekend and had arrived a little early so decided to go into Lichfield and have a wander around and go take a look at the Cathedral. We parked in the shopping parking area and then wandered down the shopping area and there was a market in the square, a short walk beyond the square you come to the Cathedral. We went inside to find that a large number of school children from different schools were obviously rehearsing for a Christmas concert that evening, they were very good and the acoustics in the cathedral is brilliant. We continued to have a wander around the various parts of the Cathedral and found the nativity scene, this was lovely to see in such a magnificant setting. Definately could have spent longer going around the various parts of the Cathedral but we had to go to meet up with our friends at where we were staying.
