We spent a splendid summers day at this magnificent cathedral. This beautiful and ancient cathedral is hidden away in this lovely little town in Staffordshire. Definitely one for the medieval history buffs. Splendid, awesome, impressive.
Worth a Saturday out.

Amazing architecture on a grand scale. The admission is free although there are donation boxes around the building. The staff are very approachable and answered all my questions. The stained glass windows are well worth seeing. The Cathedral is still in regular use I think it would be fantastic to listen to the choir singing at one of the services. I enjoyed reading about the connection with the Staffordshire Regiment, through the many plaques and notices scattered throughout the building. There is an interactive area for youngsters colouring in and making book markers.
Well worth a visit.

I went with young family members and I was a bit disappointed. I don't like the fact that a till and a volunteer is positioned by the entrance to make you feel like you have to give a donation and it is put through the till as it makes you feel compelled to donate.
There is very little information in the leaflets or around the cathedral for visitors to be able to answer questions from children. E.g. there are a lot of statues of past bishops but we don't know who they are. The leaflets could be done with some basic information in to help visitors who do not want or have the time for a full guided tour. If leaflets cannot be update then a sign put in from of the statues to say who it is and what impact they have had on Lichfield Cathedral.
Feels more like a business than a place of worship.

A beautiful cathedral with a long history. It is well worth taking the tour as it makes the visit far more interesting and valuable. Our tour guide was Graham Black and his easy knowledgable style made a good visit great. Be generous with your donations and be sure to ask for them to be gift aided if you are a UK tax payer.

This is a very unusual cathedral as it has three spires. Particularly important are the Belgian stained glass windows and the St Chad gospel. The setting for the cathedral is lovely. There is no charge for entry although they are only too happy to receive a donation.

We visited Lichfield Cathedral not knowing what to expect but we were amazed by the beauty of the architecture. It is definitely worth taking some time out to visit the cathedral.

Excellent experience, the lights and music were lovely and a treat for Christmas. It was free to watch from outside but you could also pay to go inside to see the angel display which was a beautiful sight to behold.

This cathedral is in a Close that still has the advantage that you can drive around it. There is limited disabled parking which is useful and there is parking nearby , just a short walk across the road orbup from the city. You can sit on the grass or on the benches and have a picnic or there is a cafe in tbe Close with toilets. There is also Darwin House to visit in the Close. The cathedral itself is lovely both inside and out. My only complaint is that since I last visited they've put a cash register there abs although they don't necessarily charge you you have to wait in line for a ticket. I've visited a lot of cathedrals and one of the lovely things about Lichfield was the lack of this, which spoils the whole experience. I know cathedrals need funding but this is horrible. If you want to count the people coming in, have s volunteer with a counter, if you want to encourage people to put money gift aided in an envelope be creative. Get rid of the cash register v
