Cathedral illuminated- a spectacular event, well worth the hours drive to see it and it will be on my calendar next year. Very moving and thoughtful inside the cathedral, loved the Christmas trees, the choristers, the illumination - Well worth a visit

Choirs of young children full over the place, friendly people & well organized Christmas Eve with two services at 15:00 and 18:00

Absolutely amazing! What a touching, magical Christmas show. We all loved it and will be back next year. Thank you xx

We visited the Christmas light show and it was absolutely beautiful!
First we watched outdoors, the cathedral was lit up with music and lights. Then we went inside the cathedral where it continued and it was stunning!
Beautiful carols, the Christmas story, the Crib and lots of mini Christmas trees individually decorated by local schools and businesses! We visited York Minster 2 weeks ago and Lichfield cathedral beat it by far! Highly recommend all to visit next year, we will definitely return!!!

Go to the shoppers' carol concert every year. It's a lovely start to Christmas, everyone so friendly.

What a stunning light show, I have never seen anything so beautiful as these were! Inside the Cathedral was so lovely and peaceful, loved the Chapter Room, my husband and I sat there for a while, what calming place to be! Thouroughly recommend coming to see the Cathedral! ❤️

We visited the illumination of the Cathedral last night and thought it was fantastic, not only were there 2 light shows, one projected onto the school and one onto the cathedral , but the lighting and singing / storytelling inside was beautiful . The Chapter is The Starry Night Room And was stunning . It has really made my Christmas .

Amazing spectacular illumination of the cathedral from the outside it’s a real delight. Well worth seeing for Christmas it’s very well organised. However you will need a ticket to visit the display inside the cathedral.

My Daughter and family live in Lichfield, so we have spent many happy days marvelling at the wonderful Cathedral and its history. We never tire of its wonderful architecture and stained glass windows. This week we were treated to its wonderful Light display. It was probably better than last year as we had two separate locations each with its own unique production and music.
We then went into the Cathedral and looked at the tree dressing competition, a huge effort by all the local schools and businesses. Well done to all.
Once again thanks to all for making Christmas a mix of ancient and modern for all ages to appreciate.

£4.50 - I would have paid double for this. It was a fabulous event. An absolutely credit to the cathedral. The light show on the exterior was magical and the inside was decorated so festively

This was our first trip , Star of wonder it was. Lights were excellent both outside and inside the cathedral, very special , I think it will become an annual tradition . One tip Book Early

Take in the view approaching Lichfield Cathedral from the WEST, awesome in every detail. Splendid inside as well as out, and set in the fine architecture of Cathedral Square, this is my favorite Cathedral

I found the staff very helpful and our visit interesting ,the family enjoyed the visit as they came from Australia,

Wonderful surroundings and atmosphere.

Excellent light displays. The organisation and helpers were excellent even though there were big crowds all evening. The
Mince pies and mulled wine stalls were a lovely bonus

After making a visit to the cathedral one Sunday in October, I saw advertisements for the Christmas special ‘Star of wonder star of Light’.

I really enjoyed my earlier visit, so I bought tickets for the event to take my wife along, not knowing what to expect.

This is the second year the cathedral has put on the light show, and the ticket sales were brisk, by the time we’d made our minds up the options were limited to later times, last entry is at 9:45 pm and the whole show takes about an hour. We were at 9 pm.

The event was very well organised, the marshals ensured orderly movement of large crowds of people, mostly families. After an enjoyable warmup light-show on the school adjacent to the cathedral, we grabbed a hot-chocolate & it was on for the main light show, scenes from the nativity, I’ve included two photographs that show the type of effect created. It was quite a spectacle and lasts about 15 minutes.

If you don’t know Litchfield Cathedral, it’s unique with three spires and the front façade is very impressive, providing a unique and imposing ‘canvas’ for the show, and it was all used to excellent effect.

Then we could enter the cathedral, which was beautifully lit up in several areas, with a display of Christmas trees from local businesses raising money for charity. There were quieter areas where you could just sit and contemplate, there were live gospel readings from the nativity story and carols being sung by candlelight.

The whole effect made for a magical and highly enjoyable visit. This was well worth the ticket price. In fact I think I donated a larger amount when I visited several weeks earlier!

There is ample car parking quite close to the cathedral at several places, and the local restaurants were buzzing with families, so I can well imagine that the event is a good thing for local businesses too.

I think this could easily become a standard event in our calendar, this is the second year and they’ve had different themes.

Well done to the team at Litchfield Cathedral and the company that planned and staged the wonderful light show.

Well worth a visit.very interesting place.lots to see and learn about.full of history.holds lots of events and is for all ages.lovely well built preserved building.

What a beautiful Cathedral, inside and out. Worth a visit definitely. Visit was enhanced by a Christmas tree competition where trees had been decorated by schools, businesses or charities. We were given a token to vote for our favourite. This was sooooo pretty and enhanced the visit. Lovely.

Absolutely beautiful cathedral. Visited here last night for the 'Star of Light' show which was amazing & something completely different & unique. Very well organised & I'd definitely return

Once again the focal point in the city centre has provided the back drop to marvellous entertainment. Lichfield's version of illuminations was well and safely managed and the Cathedral and even the Bishops Palace provided a grand and stunning screen for the projections.
Once inside, the show (if you are allowed to call it that) continued. The stars at night section worked particularly well and the display of Christmas trees decorated by local organisations was delightful.
Very well done to all concerned

Amazing night, absolutely a must. Magical, the true essence of Christmas captured, music, choir, story teller.Very well organised, lovely friendly people. Loved it

We attended the Cathedral light show, absolutely loved it, also the christmas tree festival inside the cathedral was excellent, overall a fantastic experience.

Visited this evening for the Christmas light show. The show was fantastic - however the display within the Cathedral was breathtaking. A wonderful way to experience a truly beautiful building.

A beautiful building with a real charm about it. The illuminations were stunning this year......x

The Thursday evening Christmas service at the Cathedral is always a very special event. The cathedral is packed but the organisation is exemplary with many staff on duty and a stall with hot drinks and hot food prior to the start of the service ..... really well organised.

The Citadel band are always magnificent and whilst a serious element is introduced to the service there is lots of fun too.

The service is free of charge but do be generous with a donation for the cathedral, it really is worth keeping a wonderful place such as this going.

Make this your go-to service for Christmas in future ..... you will love it.
