We did the climb on the chime tour. Such a wonderful experience. We climbed up into the heart of the cathedral and took in the spectacular views. My kids and I were amazed. The tour guides, George and Saundra, were so knowledgeable and easy to talk too. This cathedral is absolutely stunning. Thank you for such a great day.

I had never visited Litchfield before, until today. When my eyes gazed upon Litchfield Cathedral... my goodness! As you make your way towards this place, you begin to see just how magnificent it truly is, an impressive show of medieval craftsmanship and architecture. And to think that this massive structure, built between the early 13th and 14th centuries, came about without the use of the tools and equipment we have today. It is an absolute feat to say the least!

Heading inside through the huge doorway, we were greeted by a very friendly lady. There is no charge for entry into the cathedral, although a donation is welcomed. Honestly it was worth it, because getting to see the inside of this place was breathtaking. You get to see just how magnificent a building this actually is, all the work and time and effort that was put into its creation. And still, after all these years, it remains a reminder of a time long gone but not forgotten.

Be sure not to rush when looking around the inside of the cathedral. Take it all in, enjoy the peace and serenity. Light a candle for a loved one, if you so wish, admire the gorgeous stained glass windows and be sure not to forget the lovely gift shop too before you depart. I can say, that I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and very much look forward to visiting again in the future. Definitely a MUST if you're spending the day in Litchfield, not to be missed!

We attended an evening concert here. It was Rachmaninoff's vespers performed by Ex Cathedra.
My wife (Russian) could hear the words in Russian i just followed the beautiful sound, bravo to the choir, it must have taken alot of hard rehearsal practice.
One tip, take a cushion, the chairs are designed to keep you awake.

We stayed a couple of nights in Lichfield and decided to visit the cathedral. It is the only 3 spired cathedral in the UK and dates back to 700AD. It has a fascinating history and a gothic facade with interesting statues around and above its entrance. There is lots to see and absorb inside and I found it interesting that St Michaels Chapel inside was dedicated in 1926 as the Chapel of the Staffordshire Regiment because when I was researching my family history I discovered my grandfather had been in the Staffordshire Regiment (we visited the museum for the regiment later the same day).
It was a very hot day during an exceptional heatwave outside but it was cool inside the cathedral as well as peaceful.
A very old and interesting cathedral that's well worth visiting.

A beautiful cathedral that is well worth visiting. The architecture is stunning, and the atmosphere inside is peaceful and welcoming. Entry is free, although voluntary donations are appreciated and help with the upkeep of the cathedral. There is convenient parking nearby, making it easy to reach by car or your own means of transportation. Overall, a wonderful place to visit if you are in the area.

Nice cathedral. I went to see the Robinson Children’s monument by Francis Chantrey, which was beautiful. You can’t see anything of the towers from the inside unless you go on a towers tour, which it being the hottest June day on record I decided against. All in all though, a lovely cathedral.

Just wow. What a simply incredible building, and lovely place of worship to boot. I was quite simply stunned by the exterior of the building, and inside was also a fascinating place to visit. While entrance is free, donations are encouraged and well deserved to help in the upkeep of this crucial piece of heritage. It also lies only a short walk from the centre of this bustling, vibrant and enchanting market town and is pretty much a ‘must see’ if you are in the area. We ended up here rather randomly, and now realise we need to return to pay the cathedral and town a more leisurely visit. Staff and volunteers are friendly and helpful, and if you want to take a deeper dive into the history, legacy and importance of the building and its people, then they’re only too happy to provide more guidance. There’s also trips up the bell tower – but you really need to book ahead for these (I’ll be doing that next time!)

Quiet and calm. Enough greenery and open space around to have a picnic on a clear day.
