This is a lively cathedral. It's free to enter but gheyfk ask for donations. The wildlife photographer exhibition was very interesting

I'm not an overly religious person, but do love to visit churches of all kinds. Not only for the contents, architecture and history but the wellbeing I get from being close to something unexplained. I have no problem with a donation and will always give something, but when faced with a entrance fee I am immediately deflated and feel these places have become a side show and not a place for spiritual contemplating. Fortunately this is not one of them, you can give what you want or can afford, no pressure applied.

A statuesque building, detailed stonework, height and breadth giving it beauty. We found it reminiscent of Lincoln Cathedral, but on a smaller scale,lacking that grandeur. That said the smaller size makes it feel manageable and accessible.
A shout out to the ladies on the desk, who were super friendly and informative and genuinely pleased to be welcoming visitors to a building that they clearly love.
Inside, it is a light and airy space. There was clearly a concert or event being prepared for, with staging erected at the back. The testing of the PA system seemed rather out of kilter with the peace of the place but, of course, it did need to be tested, so can't complain.
Services continued to take place whilst visitors walked around and it was a lovely touch that we were told over the system that congregants would be praying for us.
The cathedral is currently hosting The Fenland Black Oak Table, a stunning and huge table made from a black oak from 5000 years ago, a must see.
As regular visitors to cathedrals and places of Worship, this didn't have that wonderful sense of spirituality that one seeks. Of course, much of that could have been to do with the stage, scaffolding and PA testing. plus I fully acknowledge that we all enter a church with different expectations, backgrounds and purposes and that is the beauty of them, their ability to meet so many diverse needs.
Definitely worth a visit, for historians, for photographers and just for those seeking peace and quiet.

It's a lovely place but you don't pay in but that makes you feel guilty so you end up putting a donation in box that have tills as you enter and at the end theirs a shop,but it's a beautiful cathedral

Magnificent structure that you do not want to miss exploring, so much to see and admire with very friendly and knowledgeable staff. The story behind the Dark Oak table is fascinating and a fabulous sight.

We did the towers tour (£18) per head which I thought was steep but TBF it was worth it. We were quite lucky cos there was only the 3 of us and we got 2 guides to ourselves - both of whom were incredibly knowledgeable. Great views and even though I hate heights it wasn't too bad. All very interesting. Recommended.

Attended a show at the Cathedral. I have been to a few at this venue , but this show Tunde of The Lighthouse Family was by far the best. Amazing venue, well organised and friendly staff some of which are volunteers.
The accoustics sound great in the venue too.

I always love visiting this wonderful cathederal. A splendid example of architecture and as you enter the close, an awesome sight. The interior is wonderful. We brought a friend from overseas who could not speak highly enough of it.

An amazing place, the architecture itself is amazing before you even get inside. Well worth a visit. Plus a photography exhibition with some breathtaking animal photos.

A beautiful peaceful place. It was an impromptu visit and we were pleasantly surprised that the cathedral had a trail for children to follow around the cathedral. It was nice to be welcomed with young children who enjoyed searching for people and animals along the trail whilst admiring the architecture and learning more about characters from the bible.

Absolutely excellent Tour of the Tower this afternoon! George and Andy were very knowledgeable and we were all in awe of George’s knowledge and Passion for the Cathedral! It is a tour that is really worth doing to learn all about the History of the Cathedral and see the fantastic views looking out over Lichfield! George is a young man who will go far- well done George. Enjoy your third year at Birmingham!👍

The tower tour is fantastic, George and Graham took a group of us 12 in total up the narrow and steep staircase to the roof top. Both are very knowledgeable and entertaining. We continued on to the tower, it was a squeeze but the views in all directions was fantastic. Thank you Graham and George
