My wife and I, and two 8 year old boys went on the Cathedral tour that took us into the eaves of the cathedral and up into the spires. Apart from the view across Lichfield and Staffordshire being absolutely stunning the tour also gave a really interesting insight into not only the history of the Cathedral but also the English Civil War and further back in history. The guide made it fun and interesting so that it appealed range of ages, including 8 year olds who were gripped throughout. I'd certainly recommend booking this if you have the chance.

We visited while the local choir was practicing their sermon performance. The sound that ricochets from the walls is absolutely gorgeous!

The architecture is phenomenal and makes for gorgeous photography. Their are small glass cases and framed historic artefacts scattered around the main hall of the cathedral. Ranging from WW1 & 2 memorabilia to local historic artefacts.
100% recommend a visit to this historic place if you are in the area

Beautiful cathedral

Fantastic

Beautiful cathedral well worth a visit. Lovely town

Wow! What a beautiful place this is. We both loved our day out exploring this cathedral. The vaulted roof is just spectacular. Wonderful little gift shop as you leave and museum. Stay around for prayers it is very calming and peaceful.

Such a beautiful cathedral in our close by city, we are so lucky to have this building so near by. Well worth the visit and I have been many times, as Lichfield was my birth place.

Passing visit as we were with younger children so didn’t get to wait and look around.
Evening song was on and what a beautiful sound. Sent shivers up your spine.
Beautiful architecture And grounds.
I believe you are able to look around but as mentioned, evening song was on and the children were with us so this put paid to that.
I took a picture inside the church but was told that I shouldn’t have (sorry I didn’t reAlise)!
The greeters were extremely kind and helpful.

It's a lovely city with plenty to see and do. It has a wide variety of shops and restaurants. You can visit the cathedral, sit by the Minster Pool and soak up the history all around you. However the District Council levied a street licence fee on traders at the festival market of £21, which in addition to the stall fee, lead to many traders not coming. Shame!

Fantastic place to view the history of Lichfield. Must visit place.

Lovely historic building and views. Definitely recommend

Beautiful cathedral and lovely to be able to access it for a donation. So many cathedrals charge an entrance fee now. Staff were all very welcoming.

Beautiful building, stone work (inside and out), marble carvings, fantastic stain glass windows. St Chads chapel was really interesting. Lovely building to explore. Well worth a visit. We were lucky enough to catch the midday communion Service which just made the visit perfect. Display by artists paintings and sculptors just added to the experience. Also lucky enough to catch a small orchestra rehearing for a performance and the acoustics were wonderful. Would have loved to go to the proper thing.

Free entry. Lots of information to read about the cathedral. Beautiful stained glass windows. Very peaceful. Plenty of areas to pray. Very nice to visit on a sunny day.

,Went with a group to Lichfield. The Festival wasnt as big as usual because council charge £20+ extra. Usually its ram packed. This plus rain spoilt it a bit. So instead if wandering round the stalls as I would have liked with no good on coat or umbrella I went into shops. McDonald's for tea and chicken wrap, craft and secondhand shop mostly. I bought some wool for #bagsofhope, went into Lichfield Methodist Church and had a lovely chat. There will be #bagsofhope in Lichfield. Met some lovely stall and shop keepers. Learnt a lot. Didn't go into Darwin's gardens or Lichfield Cathedral but will do another time

And we got to find my Great-Great-Great-Great-Great Grandfather's resting place, as ArchDeacon at the cathedral

Was privileged to attend my nieces ordination service into the ministry.there were 8 ordination in total that day and although the service was 2 hours long if wad a pleasure to be in such a lovely cathedral,you can visit anytime with no charge and all they ask is as small donation.lovely old place steeped in history a must see attraction of luchfield

Beautiful cathedral

Absolutely stunning building, very informative volunteer guides, and free entry

One of the best in England. West front is superb. Make time to see it

Its very old. I was expecting something modern, vibrant, colourful but its very grey with coloured glass

Fantastic building, one of the best examples in the country! Well worth a visit and to the local town (city) which has a great selection of local shops and eating places

Definitely worth a visit , fantastic architecture and history.

We could actually see the three spires of this cathedral from our holiday apartment several miles away, rising above the intervening trees and fields.
The weather was a bit damp, raining very slightly, when we decided to take a sight-seeing trip into the small city of Lichfield. We had no trouble parking the car. There are several car parks around the city centre and we chose the one next to the bus station. It was about a ten minute stroll through the main shopping area before we came up to the cathedral itself. As we walked up the approach on Dam Street, I was quite amazed by the great size of the building in comparison to everything around it.
Entrance was free, though the young lady at the reception desk inside gave us the opportunity to make a donation. We quite happily did so.
There was to be a guided tour at 2pm, but that was an hour off and so we elected to stroll around the enormous interior on our own. Despite the scale of the place, there weren't too many objects of particular beauty to catch one's eye, nor was there quite the reverential tranquillity one normally finds in such places. The busy activity of a group of people setting out seating possibly explained the latter.
There was a very nice set of stained glass windows at the far end and one of the resident guides was kind enough to come up and give us the history of them, how they originally from a Belgian church and were purchased from there in the wake of Napoleonic closures and re-installed in Lichfield.
In the chancery, off to one side, was an interesting piece of stone carving known as the Lichfield Angel, only dug up in 2003 during works at the cathedral. It apparently dates back to about 800AD.
We didn't make this a long visit as we hadn't had lunch yet and were getting hungry. It hadn't been one of the most interesting churches we've visited, but its size and long history were both impressive.

A beautiful piece of Art, magnificent !
