Lichfield cathedral is very pretty. Have visited a few times, typically during the festive period. They know how to put on a good show.
If there's an event on, it's worth a visit for sure.

We visited just before Christmas while in the town for a few hours. We wanted to see more of the town so stayed two nights and returned to the Cathedral, a beautiful and historic building surrounded by some really ancient houses.
It was a little noisy as there were school children having lessons there. Hope they appreciated the location as much as we did.

It is wonderful place to visit whilst you are in Lichfield very near to coffee shops and retail shops whilst taking in the history of Lichfield city

Beautiful stained glass, nice to walk around especially on a sunny day. There are people waiting to welcome you and I suspect also to make you more likely to give a donation. The little upstairs bit is unusual. It's otherwise not exciting, but how exciting do you expect a cathedral to be?

A stunning unique medieval cathedral. Packed with treasures and the outside is a mini Wells with all its carving.
A peaceful setting and very friendly staff make it a place you won’t regret visiting.. if you talk to the staff you will learn so much.
They don’t charge to enter but ask for a donation

It’s magnificent from the outside very intricate stonework. Inside a bit disappointing. The reception desk was manned by a cheerful and helpful member of staff. There was no one in the cathedral to go to and ask questions from, the touch screen monitors are well designed and helpful. There didn’t seem to be any atmosphere in the cathedral.

Unplanned trip to Lichfield turned into a beautiful adventure; free bank holiday activities

A pretty glorious spectacle - a crazily elaborate Gothic exterior which was great to visit ( and curiously uncrowded) on a sunny Bank Holiday. Loses one mark out of five - half because the interior isn't quite as dazzling as the outside, half because God doesn't exist (i.e. false advertising).

The Cathedral is free to enter but you are asked to make a donation to its upkeep. It is a stunning building - I just love the colour of the outside stonework and the intricate carvings. I think it is the only cathedral in the UK with 3 spires. It is nowhere near as big as Lincoln Cathedral which was the last one we visited but I think this adds to Lichfield's charm. I love the stained glass windows and we were visiting at a time where there is an exhibition to mark the end of WW1. We wandered over to the gift shop - No 9 in the close. The Cathedral is well worth a visit.

Absolutely stunning. For me it was on par with York Minster!!
It's free to enter, all they ask for is a donation. Will definitely return again.

We were lucky that a guided tour was about to take place shortly after we arrived and were even luckier that apart from the two of us, there was only one other person who joined the tour. This allowed us to find out about the history of the building (and others previously on the site) taking us from the eighth century to the present day. Many things were pointed out that we may not have noticed (such as the lean to the walls) and context and explanations were provided for many of the things we were able to see. In addition there was an exhibition commemorating 100 years since the end of the first world war.
Overall, a fascinating and absorbing visit.

The Cathedral is free to enter. you can give donations which helps the Cathedral's daily upkeep. It is truly beautiful both on the inside and outside. We have been to several events here and the Cathedral is always inspiring whatever the event. There is a small gift shop where you can buy gifts plus a gift shop outside the cathedral at No 9 in The Close.

My wife myself and four friends went to see the Lichfield youth company perform les Miserables at the cathedral on Saturday, what a fantastic day! The show was superb and enjoyed by us all couldn't fault any of it well done to all involved! And the cathedral was a very good venue and everyone worked hard to make this a fantastic production, brilliant all round!

An impressive place of history and peace. Many smaller areas to sit and reflect. Plus many events scheduled for all types to attend.

Lichfield Cathedral is easy to get to from the train station. It is well sign posted.
The cathedral is very peaceful, it has interesting historical displays and entry is free however they ask for donations.
They were very helpful and I was given a leaflet to aid my visit. Unfortunately tower tours weren't running when I visited.

We were there to watch a performance of Les mis by the Lichfield youth theatre. The whole evening was something special. The beauty and elegance of the cathedral, the general cheery atmosphere given off by all the helpers on entering the building. The show was full of young talent that will go onto stages all over the country/ world in the near future. The orchestra, sound and lightning was perfect for the setting. Well done to everyone who made the night so special.

Worth a visit if you are in the town. Right in the centre and full of history. Free entry. Quite amazing how the builders managed to create such a structure all those years ago
