Lots of local groups, charities, businesses, organisations decorate a Christmas tree and they are displayed in this beautiful cathedral.
50+ trees this year.
We always do a little pilgrimage to Lichfield Cathedral to seethe trees and pay £1 to vote for our winner.
The Cathedral also does an amazing light show with lights projected inside and outside of this amazing building.
We didn’t go to see the lights this year as we thought it was a ticketed event and we forgot to get tickets. Must remember to do it next year.
Amazing building at any time of the year but particularly magical at Christmas.

I went to the The Luxmuralis Cathedral Illumination tonight. I went last year. While the interior last year was good this year was truly magnificent. It was wonderful to see how it engaged the children.
For me it was truly peaceful. The music and the projections brought the cathedral to life. I think if you spent all day there you would still find something new.
So much hard work must have gone into tonight and the other nights. Thank you to all the people that made it possible.

We came to enjoy the light show and were not disappointed. Fabulous display first on the Chapter House then on the cathedral. So much fun in the first show all the Christmas images that we all enjoy. Then the beautiful Nativity story on the cathedral. The amount of visitors for each performance was perfect, not at all crowded. Then going inside the cathedral it was spectacular. Beautiful lights like a kaleidoscope, just stunning, plus a Christmas tree festival. It put us right in the Christmas mood.

What a great night the light show was first class and well organised. The groups seemed to be just the right size to be able to see the show. The group I was with was also enjoying the show singing alone which made it all the more special. Thank you Marshalls and organisers for a great night.

Came to see the light show and it was first class. The show is well worth the money and was a great way to spend a couple of hours and explore history.

Pre booked tickets gave us a 7.30pm performance. It may be torrential rain but it was fantastic.
A short preview show on the way to the cathedral allowed previous queue to move on.
The main light spectacle was stunning both inside and particularly outside.
The isles of Christmas trees were beautiful.
No rush, everyone helpful and pleasant. Toilets opposite at the cafe where hot drinks are served.
A real Christmas highlight for all ages. Very popular event.
Hats off to cathedral staff and organisers who made this possible and allowed this to happen. It awes 21C people in the way stained glass did in medieval times.

A really lovely idea, bringing the cathedral to life at night with amazing colour, music. Good value for money too and as an added bonus Chapters stayed open late for hot drinks and food. Loved all the different Christmas trees inside as well.

Had a few hours to kill in Lichfield and decided to pay a visit. Spectacular building in and out. Less ostentatious than some of Englands other Cathedrals, but a lovely place to visit. Free entry (Take note Ely Cathedral......£9 each!!!!!), just leave a donation on the way out.

I live local, so visit all the time.
My friend and I decided to go to see the Christmas trees. Such a lovely start for the Christmas period. A choir were singing which made it even more wonderful than usual.

Welcome to Lichfield Cathedral, where you can discover over 1300 years of history in the only medieval three-spired Cathedral in the UK!
See a medieval wall painting, the famous Herkenrode stained glass, the Lichfield Angel and much more.
The Christmas Lantern Service was simply Sublime.

We attended the eveing illuminations in the cathedral - The Great Exhibition 2019: The Universe and Everything. It was an amazing light show - very thought provoking - excellent value. We wil certainly visit the 2019 Great Exhibition.

We visit a lot of cathedrals and this is amongst the finest. It was a Sunday afternoon as the Advent service was being set up but was not too busy. The cathedral is built in the traditional style with a long nave and transepts. We didn’t have time to explore the Christmas tree exhibition but it looked interesting. Outside, the stonework is stunning, with scores of statues adorning the west wall.

Really enjoyed our visit to the Cathedral at the weekend. Seeing all the trees decorated was quite something. A lot of effort by the various groups. Worth a visit

Compared to other UK cathedrals, Lichfield must rank very highly indeed. It may not have the grandeur of many but it is grand in its own right. What it may lack superficial, it makes up for, with its historic architecture and the history of the place that seems to seep from its very walls. It truly is beautiful, a must do, should you be in the area.
We took a FREE guided tour at 14:00hrs, which took about 45 minutes. 1 guide chaperoning 4 visitors, heavenly!
What an education we had, our guide was superb, so knowledgeable, the facts flew and she made it sound so interesting, as if it was the first tour of the week.
Professional to the core, congratulations and a huge thank you!
Entrance to the cathedral was free, donations were discretionary. A wonderful 2 hr visit.
A great loss for yourself if you are in Lichfield and you don’t call in!

We had a tour of the cathedral on Thursday 21 November 2019 at 11.00. Margaret was an excellent guide - her knowledge was extensive and she imparted many fascinating facts which made the visit so memorable. She took time to answer our questions and we would happily have spent more time with her. We strongly recommend this tour.

Interesting Cathedral. They were just setting up for Bach music in the afternoon. Pleased to see it was free to enter, so many make a charge to enter. Bought a thimble at cathedral shop as I collect them. Worth walking to from the town.
