Beautiful, the rest of the town centre is too, steeped in history with the Samuel Johnson museum plus more. Well worth a visit

We visited here on a damp day in January. The staff were friendly and welcoming, offering information. There was no admission charge, but donations were appreciated. The building was warm and peaceful. There is a children's area, with plenty of things to do. I was free to take photographs of this beautiful building. Since we last visited the glass has been restored and refitted at the east end, and the colours are amazing.
There are plenty of interesting things to look at. I lit a candle for my friend

Opens at 9:30am (except Sundays), entrance free. Unusual three spired building dating back to 13th Century. Central spire is ~77m tall. Nave seems fairly short, and the choir correspondingly long. Nave is 70 ft wide whereas the cathedral is 385 ft long. Beautiful stained glass windows at the apse with some history (16th Century from Belgian Abbey brought to England when Napoleon did away with abbeys). Really excellent audiovisual screens to explain the history. Watch out for the Lichfield Angel, and read up about St Chad. Free parking in Gaia Lane - if you are lucky. Great tea and cakes at the Cafe in the Close, garden is probably the place for refreshments in summer.

A very beautiful place of worship to visit. With a 1300 year history it is brimming with things to see and do. From tiny people's messy church to celebration of services daily and concerts and historical lectures. Week worth a visit. With only a request for a donation which you can afford.

It is a lovely old city and we were there when there was an open market - a Saturday. We loved where the cathedral was and the easy parking. We liked the city, although not too keen on the pedestrianised part and the Cathedral is wonderful.

It is a privilege to be able to visit, worship and sing in the Cathedral where people have worshipped and prayed for hundreds of years. A very special holy place.

The Cathedral is free to enter, and doesn't even charge for photos.

It has an imposing entrance which gives a good feel for the inside, ornate and fabulous!

The Belgian glass at the East end is now completely renovated and cleaned, for 500 year old glass it's going well :-)
There is a touch screen info panel to tell you the history of where the glass came from and what it depicts.
The chapter house is currently undergoing renovation. It's complete, but the glass is covered up so the full glory is not apparent.
Don't miss the little upstairs chapel on the south side.
Overall, lots to look at, plenty of info about what you are seeing, guided tours available, and with some of the moat still in existence it's in a beautiful location too.

An imposing Cathedral when approached from the front, you can imagine the medieval scene. Inside it is full of history and shows the place as the beautiful building it is. Coffee shop just to one side

Nice large working cathedral. Good music program. We took a tour and it was better than expected, lots of small historic things around the grounds, early well, etc.

Have been on many occasions and always been really impressed with the whole day.
The building is stunning and we always find something new , but it's probably been there for hundreds of years .
