Great little museum, lots of interesting information, and a real thrill to see lots of objects (a desk, an armchair, a chocolate pot) that belonged to Dr Johnson. Friendly staff who made us feel welcome, and a trail for children.

I must thank Franklins Removals for being efficient, friendly & so very reactive. A great experience, lovely Brummies ! Couldn’t recommend them more highly. Saved my bacon .

Cathedral with lots of history. We had a tour which I would really recommend to get the full details.

Having worked in Lichfield in the long distant pre-COVID past, I've always loved to be around the Cathedral even as an agnostic - families and friends having picnics on the grass in the summer, hosting the Food Festival on its grounds, and appreciating the sheer grandness of the architecture and stained glass. It's such a beautiful landmark.
But the Museum of the Moon exhibition really is something special. If you're free before 31st October, drop by to see it - it's only £5 for entry in the evening (which I believe is the exhibition as it's truly meant to be viewed - the installation is internally lit with a soft glow, and there's a beautiful ambient soundtrack). It's stunning from every angle, some people even lay down on the floor to view it from below - you simply can't get bored of looking at it.
There are plenty of seats around with opportunities to grab refreshments (and from an accessibility perspective, there is a ramp for the main entrance). I didn't partake of the food on offer, but I did just sit and soak up the atmosphere for an hour. The gift shop is open too with some cute space-themed paraphernalia for little gifts, or for the kids.
I'll definitely look into more night-time Cathedral events, and I hope they consider hosting more immersive art like this!

A quietly powerful place to visit. I particularly appreciated a memorial setting which avoided being militaristic.

An overwhelmingly humbling place to honour those who gave their lives in service to our country. Beautiful well tended and thought through. Places to sit in quiet reflection. Informative plaques and guided tours. Suitable for all abilities.

After a £5 donation for 2 adults it’s an amazing place of worship to wander around. The floating moon was an added bonus. Try to also visit the free herb garden and check out the surrounding houses amazing history.
