The Cathedral is not only open for public worship, but aims to be a focal point for the city as well as a religious centre.
Right now, the Cathedral is hosting the Turner exhibition, which includes J. M. W. Turner’s painting of Lichfield Cathedral, together with some of his sketches. The exhibition is not merely about Turner: the Chapter House, which contains most of the exhibits, displays paintings of the Cathedral by various artists over the years, including the Cathedral’s artist in residence, Peter Walker.
It is well worth the visit, but if you miss the closing date of 11 June 2017, keep an eye out for other exhibitions and events. There is always much that’s happening.

We visited this gothic cathedral 30 years ago, and I want to reacquaint myself with the three spires and the reddish colour of the stone. It is far better than I remember! We attend Sunday Choral Eucharist which we enjoy, but the building itself is a wonder. There are many stained glass windows, but the Lady Chapel with its collection of large Belgian windows is wonderful. There are also many ornate iron grills, and the columns are clusters of stone straws which flare out at the top. There is a strange Chapel of the Head of St Chad, even though the bones and head of St Chad have been missing for 500 years! And finally, there are lovely views of the cathedral across the Minster Pool just south of the cathedral. A treat!

We were welcomed in even for the last 20mins of Sunday service. So glad we did.
This is a truly epic sized cathedral and architecturally stunning. The outside is a feast for the eyes and could not possibly disappoint.
Highly recommend a visit.
Plenty of amenities within the square, shop, restaurant and toilets.

Although not normally in to this kind of stuff, we loved the cathedral. There was a Turner exhibition on at the time, and also lots of history on local military, the cathedral itself and its importance to the local community.

We were greeted by a lovely woman who ensured the child with us had the specially designed children's trail guide and told us about and where to find the exhibition with the Turner painting that we had specifically come to see.
We had a look around the entire Cathedral and spent around 45m-1h.
Around the cathedral were interactive information points which were interesting.
We all enjoyed our visit.
