I love Lichfield cathedral. Great place to visit with lots of major activities during the year. Charles Darwins grandfather lived over the road and there is a fascinating museum in his old house. Well worth the visit, it's free as well!

What an amazing experience. Absolutely fantastic, enjoyed by the following ages 71, 68, 41, 40, 11, 9, 8, 7 - we really enjoyed the evening. They had strung up the messages from last year, they looked like they were floating. We will definitely be going again next year. Well done.

Lichfield is nice. But it appears to live in the shadow of the cathedral which seems to watch over the town (city)

The cathedral summoned us and in we went. Our timing was perfect. Carols just about to start. We indulged in the caroling.

The cathedral is large and impressive and traditional and we were impressed.

There was a Christmas tree festival on with many trees on display and some local school children had clearly put a lot of effort in. Some more than others but it never mattered due to the terrible system.
There is an entrance to the display and it is not explained clearly that there are 2 rows of trees so by the time we discovered the 2nd row, we had already voted and we felt bad for the trees in the 2nd row as they won't get many votes.

We may come back here next Christmas

If you haven’t been then you should. It’s a magical place. So much history and very emotional.
We went for Carol service and didn’t disappoint.

We visited the event on Thursday. It was well organised and the staff were polite and helpful. The cathedral looked beautiful and the show was amazing. Inside the cathedral felt peaceful and Christmassy with the trees and other displays. I will definitely be returning next year.

A variety of events from Classical to choral. Wonderful Illumination of the interior and exterior. Very festive!

Took a chance on a day out in Lichfield, and discovered Staffordshire's jewel, the old town gives the city character, from early Tudor days through to the prosperity of its Georgian hay-day, walking ye olde streets and alleyways.

The cathedral is 3 minutes walk from the centre and provides a quiet space to escape the bustling shoppers. Grand gothic spires and buttresses conceal st. Chads spiritual home.

Take time to sit beneath the vaulting arches and think on the thousands who have worked to create and preserve this lofty tabernacle of stone and calm.

As a local, I often forget about the cathedral which sounds a little ridiculous given the size of it but it's an amazing piece of architecture and highly recommended for anyone who hasn't been.

There is a cost to look around inside but it is a meagre amount (around £10) if you're into looking at architecture and like historic locations.

A beautiful centrepiece to the place I now call home after moving here from Birmingham in the late 90s.

Visited for the illuminations. It was amazingly beautiful & felt really magical. Saw large queue at allocated time, but was so well organized and quickly went through. What we really liked was we were not rushed in any way. In fact, we were told we could watch the main show at the front if the cathedral again. Would recommend 100% to anyone and can't wait till next year

The cathedral is surrounded by a light and sound show. The cathedral is amazing in the dark with a 20 minute light show. Inside the cathedral there are more light shows a long with displays and a Christmas tree walk through. The organisation was perfect. If you have missed it this year don't miss it next year. Whether you are religious or not you will enjoy the visit. It is for all ages. There is no rush once you are in you can take your time. It does have time slots of every fifteen minutes. You can arrive at the time allotted and you will only have to wait a few minutes before you can go in.

It is an enormous pointy thing in the centre of the city. Free entry but donation encouraged. Shame that it no longer has the head of St Chad, but that is really the kill joy puritans fault not the current lot
