Quiet, peaceful surroundings but in the centre of Lichfield.Free admission relying on donations only.
Great to watch the extremely talented artist paint an icon. Definitely worth a visit.

This venue is HUGE, impressive in every detail, and "staffed" by knowledgeable volunteers who are always pleasant, charming and happy to help!

The architecture is incredible and (at 1300 years old) this is one of the oldest cathedrals in the country. Its three spires are rare and the carved sculptures, both inside and out, are awe-inspiring and meticulous in detail.

You can spend hours in its magnificence and never cease to be amazed. Too many "Wow!" moments to recall them all. There is a HUGE new crucifix under construction in the nave area where it will be suspended on completion

Wonderful exhibition on at the moment to mark the centenary of the end of WW1

So easy to find from the bus, train or car parking within the city. Flat pedestrianised pathways take you around the river, park and market. Very helpful staff and excellent guides avaiailable or saunter around to your hearts content. Close to lots of cafes, museums and an information centre aswell as a super cathedral gift shop opposite on the green. Ideal for those with walking problems, in a wheelchair or electronic chairs. So much to see at very reasonable prices. Good clear signage for public toilets and lots of seating. A great place to wander around antique and charity shops too.

Didnt have that long to visit but will definitely be returning. Fabulous gothic cathedral on both the outside and the inside. Got lovely welcome form those inside and the building itself is stunning. Need to read up on the history, and get myself back there when I have more time. Free entry but always nice to make a donation.

So close to home for us and yet we don’t visit the 3 spires as often as we should
The architecture is immense and inside there is a feeling of inner peace

A great night for all the family. From the display of trees outside that are being moved to Beacon Park later to the light show inside the Cathedral.

Fantastic, immersive experience about the First World War. There is plenty to see and read about. The artists have put together a range of pieces involving light and sound. It was both education and moving. There were a number of opportunities for personal reflection on the meaning of peace. A nice touch at the end is the opportunity to purchase and enjoy a refreshment.

If you go to the service you don't have to pay. You get to hear the mass and see the church inside.. beautiful place for sure not just the church but the town festival. Go and see it for yourself.

This was another of their light and music shows which are very good , this one was to do with the end of the first world war, their Christmas shows are well worth a visit

Visiting here is very peaceful, not the hustle of better known cathedrals. It is not far to walk from car parking.

As usual, this top Cathedral in the U.K. was fantastic, the greeters were polite and very knowledgable. Anyone interested in history, should visit this as often as possible.

What a beautiful setting to hold this exhibition. It was visually stunning as is the actual cathedral itself. We spent an hour wondering around taking in our surroundings. Well worth a trip and a powerful message. Peace.

Magnificent exterior to this cathedral. Insude was a little disappointing. The choir were practising which was a bonus. The outside is stunning, such a wonderful work of art and surrounded by beautiful historic buildings.

Image Peace Exhibition is really worth visiting. The volunteers were genuinely welcoming and considerate. I liked the community involvement and the ways visitors were asked to contribute and interact. Quiet places for reflection.... do visit the Chapter House with the falling leaves. To sit on the floor of the nave and experience the light and sound show was thrilling. Kids will love this, but my 80 year old Mum, did too!
Well done artist in residence and the whole team. Great job. Well done!

Beautiful projection of 16 million falling leaves. The colours were amazing and quiet corners where you could imagine Peace . It would be wonderful if the people who
Visit this could spare a moment to remember the soldier's who fought and gave their
lives so we could have peace.

We were astounded by the beauty of this cathedral from the outside, and this feeling of astonishment, delight and awe never left us. The stained glass is stunning, and every aspect of the Cathedral is exquisite.

Friendly staff and a wonderful display of Peace & Remembrance material which was all displayed with clarity. The greenery added to the ambience. Took my parents who spent a long time reading all those displays. And of course the building - what a treasure.
