Lichfield Cathedral
Latest Reviews
We visited the cathedral as we had heard there was a Christmas tree display on until Jan 4th.
The cathedral itself was easy to find and parking was plentiful. We parked on the university car park. £2.10 for up to 4 hours.
The cathedral was very impressive and free admission ( you were asked to make a donation but not enforced).
There were 45 decorated trees to view and a massive display of paper angels hanging from the ceiling. Well worth a view. We paid a £1 each for a token to select our favourite tree (proceeds to charity) and lit a candle.
The cathedral was well worth a visit. Tea rooms and toilets were just lower down outside the cathedral but we chose to go to Greggs in town and later Handleys bakers where I had the most delicious Viennese whirl ever!
Not much time left to visit but worth a look.

Midnight mass was an uplifting experience! The cathedral choir were superb. Being part of such a great body of worshippers was truly a spiritual experience.

Lichfield Cathedral is only 30 minutes from our home so it is our local cathedral. We have been here so many times - I couldn't count how many. My mum and dad came regularly before my dad passed away. My dad was a member of a choir which specialised in sacred music and had been an organist. They both found so much peace and happiness in this place. My husband and I have also been coming for a long time. There is a feeling of peace, reflection and calm about the building. It gives us a chance to focus on spiritual rather than worldly matters. Everyone there is friendly but very aware of the need for the Cathedral to engage with injustice at home and overseas. It provides the perfect place to be still and reflect on what matters most.

This cathedral is a must to visit if you are in the area, as soon as you enter, you instinctively stop talking, you can take as little or short a visit as you want but take time to sit and think for awhile, take a camera but ask if you can use it, they will usually say yes for a small donation, well worth it.

The christmas light show was a very pleasant surprise. Well done to music, no charge, but rightly so, you are encouraged to donate.
I hope they do similar again in 2017!

Visited the Cathedral illuminated 'The Angles are Coming'...it was absolutely beautiful, the visuals and music were magical and really brought home the true meaning of Christmas. The Christmas trees and all the angel displays inside the cathedral were equally stunning, the cathedral looked so beautiful, calm and serene we could have stayed there all night. Thank you to everyone involved in the magical display, it really was wonderful xx

It was completely mesmerising. The light show was beautiful and the'sound track', a mix of music and carols was perfect.

We visited the cathedral while an orchestra was rehearsing for a concert. It was so wonderful to sit and listen. To get the true effect of this magnificent building from 1095 period. It was a beautiful building and we enjoyed the Christmas tree displays very much. I was disappointed when we went into one side room and the guide's first comment was that the bishops used to use that room to discuss the finances of the church. For the only comment to make - I found that odd.

With little to do on a dull day we happened into Lichfield Cathedral. It's a great building and the staff on duty were knowledgable and friendly. We learned a lot.

what a brilliant show, so good, a real lead up to Christmas, lasts about twenty minutes, then into the Cathedral to see all the paper angels hanging from the roof along with Christmas trees lining the sides all designated to local charities, spent a good 50 minutes there....plenty to see...

Lichfield's 5 spires are a sight to behold with the gem of course being the Cathedral, the true heart of the city. Privileged to have recently moved into this super friendly and outwardly upbeat place, historic landmarks adorn each street corner to make up its eclectic skyline merging new builds sympathetically and a city sure to be proud of.
