A huge thank you to all the team at Lichfield for the wonderful streaming of worship in these last months. I live in Edinburgh and my mum lives in Derby. We've had many special visits to Lichfield Cathedral over the last 25 years so it's a special place for us.
We haven't been able to see each other since Christmas and we can both honestly say that "meeting" at Lichfield during the lockdown and "going to" the 10.30 service together has been a lovely experience we've shared, and a highlight of our week. It’s also just felt so valuable that we’ve had this regular time spent together each week – and that has meant so much. Your services have felt like a bit of an anchor point among all the turbulence.
We now feel like we know all the staff and have become so fond of you all! We can’t wait for when we’ll be able to come to a ‘real life’ service together once I’m back in the Midlands.
With much gratitude, Joanna and Christine xxx

We really enjoyed our visit here. The scale of this beautiful building is something else. It's almost as big as Notra Dame in Paris. Quite incredible and certainly worth a visit

What an absolutely incredible building! From the moment we walked towards the cathedral we were in awe of the architecture! Such a stunning building with detail in the exterior that will take your breath away! The interior is also amazing! Lots of little exhibits on various topics with a little gift shop inside also if you wanted to pick up a souvenir! The kids get a little treasure hunt sort of thing when they enter and they must find different things in the Cathedral and tick them off as they go for a little prize at the end - such an easy and affordable way to keep the little ones entertained!!

Lichfield Cathedral with its unique three spires may not be as large or as ornate at other UK cathedrals, but walking along The Close the first views of the cathedral is impressive, even dark. The closer you get you realise how spectacular it is, especially the front facade with its enormous number of statues. It definitely has its own specific beautiful. Walk around the outside the rest is equally as good.
Inside is just as impressive. The structure, columns, arches, roof stonework and the beautiful stained-glass windows put it on a par with many other cathedrals. It may not have the grandeur of many but it has its own grandness. The memorials on the walls are very interesting especially the military memorials of the various Staffordshire Regiments and the impact of the various local residents and dignitaries.
Entrance to the cathedral was free, brilliant, donations were discretionary but when given they are very appreciative. The free guided tours taking about 45 mins, at various times during the day are well worth taking if you have the time. The guides, taking small groups, are so knowledgeable and informative and seem happy in their job.
Well worth the visit and fi in Lichfield should not be missed. We will go back.

Been a number of times and is simply quite typical of a cathedral without being anything special. Located in the city centre and the market at the side as well as oyther close buildings donr enhance it

Visited Litchfield Cathedral this afternoon and it was well worth the trip. What a beautiful building. It has a gothic look to it but complimented by hundreds of small stone statues built into its enormous facade. Inside it’s dimly lit which works extremely well as it keeps its mystic and holy look and feel. It’s free to get in but you can give a donation. Lovely.

We had a great time exploring Litchfield Cathedral. The guides were very helpful. We will visit again when in the area as there is so much to see and learn.

It doesn't matter how many times I visit this beautiful cathedral there is always something new to see. Christmas is an especially beautiful time with the gorgeous tree displays that have been decorated by people from schools and businesses in the community. There is the Lichfield Gospels exhibition and ofcourse the Lichfield Angel which was found in 2003 during excavations beneath the nave floor. You can sit quietly and reflect or just take in the architecture.

About thirty minutes drive from Birmingham there is a large car park nearby. Visiting the Cathedral is free. The guide book is £5 and they offer free tours which I highly recommend. This is one of the best cathedrals I have ever visited with a long history going back to Saxon times. Every corner reveals something new and the history was so interesting especially the civil war siege. Highlights include the Saxon bible and statue of an angel, the Zulu shields and the medieval wall paintings. The tour lasted about 90 minutes and was so interesting. Highly recommended.
