A few of us from a trip visited the cathedral.
It was free entry just a donation required.
What a magnificent building.
Very interesting read all the way round.
We were able to light a candle in memory of someone ( donation) and we also assisted in making an angel and adding comments to a loved one, they are trying to make i think 10,000 to hang at Christmas.
Will look beautiful.
They had an evening service that night in the dark which sounded brilliant however we had a prior engagement

Its a lovely building inside and out. On entry you'll be given a guide and advised about how to donate (at the desk or in the donation boxes). We were approached by the priest to ask if we had enjoyed our visit and everybody was very friendly.

We visited on a wet and cold day at 4pm. The two welcomers were very nice and explained that a donation would be appreciated, and would we like to gift aid it. It was done so nicely you couldn't find fault. I specifically came to take some pictures and was pleased to see this is free. As it was such a dark day all the lights were on and it has to be one of the best-lit cathedrals I have ever visited. Atmospheric and, at the same time, illuminating all the important features. There was another very helpful man in the Chapter House telling us about the carvings. The only minus point is the Guidebook which wasn't easy to use as you walked around - it is more of a souvenir to read back at home. Loved our visit and recommend it highly.

A very good visit on Remembrance Sunday. The cathedral is unusual in having three spires and the interior is stunning especially looking up at the central arches. I enjoy monument sculptures and there are many good examples here. There is a model in the cathedral and this gives a good idea of it's structure. The staff and helpers are welcoming and great assisting with queries. We had a choir singing at the time and this added to the atmosphere.

How can you not enjoy such a visual experience as this. It really takes your breath away when you first see it.
The detail of the craftsmanship is beyond belief.

The outside of the cathedral is stunning, as is the inside. On arrival you will be given a ticket at a reception desk, this is so the cathedral can monitor the number of visitors they have, you will be asked if you would like to make a donation towards your visit - there are donation boxes around the cathedral if you wish to donate. The inside of the cathedral is stunning, we have made 3 visits so far and every time we go we see something different. What a beautiful place to spend an hour or so.

We went, one damp and gloomy day, drismal ,I call it ! The building is stunning , and the small amount that I knew about it was useful.(school not competely wasted) There was a small group of people holding a service, in which we joined.We loved it. There is a chapel dedicated to the Zulu battle at Riorkes Drift ,the flags and Zulu shields !!make an impressive and poignant display.We loved it, but words are not enough. Just go

As magnificent as I recalled from childhood. Allow plenty of time to look round, and to enjoy a stroll round the Minster Pool and the cafe.

A truly amazing and beautiful Cathedral, the three spires dominate the local skyline and once at the cathedral they stand proud before you, once inside the place is very well kept and has some wonderful displays and artifacts. The staff are helpful and will explain the history of this truly beautiful cathedral, well worth a look if in the City.

I often visit Lichfield Cathedral as I live not far away. It is a beautiful place and I often take friends and relatives there from overseas and they are always amazed at how interesting it is. I recently went to see the light show to commemorate the Battle of the Somme. It was the most moving and spiritual experience I have ever had. The Cathedral is full of history and is home to the Staffordshire Regiment.

We arrived as Eucharist ended & listened to the organ voluntary as we introduced the beautiful building to my two sister-in-laws & brother-in-law. What a wonderful atmosphere & I was so delighted to see so many worshippers. WONDERFUL �

Well worth a visit and unlike some cathedrals in other cities there is no charge just a suggested donation. The Chapter House has a medieval wall painting, a historical book of the Gospels believed to be written by St Chad and some small pieces from the Staffordshire Hoard. There's also the Lichfield Angel - a marvellous sculpture believed to be of the Angel Gabriel. The cathedral staff are very helpful and welcoming and will happily answer any questions you may have.

Lichfield cathedral is a wonderful 3 spired building with lots to see. Each time we visit with friends we discover something new. Situated very close to city centre with a pool walk and seating close by. Chapters coffee shop/cafe opposite the side entrance, nice place to visit with varied menu. Also remembrance gardens, park and lots cafes close by.

The cathedral is amazing to explore. They provide an Angel trail for children, also an activity room for them, and the first time we went there was a brass rubbing room, but it was locked this time. Even young children are in awe of this building and we will visit again to get to know more of the history of it. There are many beautiful things to look at and learn about. It was warm inside and is well kept, and we could have spent much longer than we did there.

Great site, close to Erasmus Darwin museum, close to water. Beautifully presented, with excellent information and helpful cathedral personnel to greet you and answer questions. Free.

This place has great architecture and obviously a lot of history. Plus it has 3 spires which makes it unique. It was free to go in and have a look but you are expected to make a donation. Just outside of the cathedral there is a little cafe.

I am so glad I walked up to the Cathedral as it is a very beautiful and educational experience and I wish I had had longer to explore, so give yourself plenty of time to take in the history and beauty of this ancient place.
