It's many years since I lasted visited so thought it was time for a return. We were actually doing the "March of the Elephants" trail so there were some in the cathedral.
The outside is outstanding and one of my favourite frontages, but inside is a disappointment. It's not as impressive, although there are plenty of grand tombs to former Bishops including Selwyn, founder of the Cambridge college, and the Chapter house contains some artefacts, including the Lichfield angel.
The most annoying thing was that I'd checked opening times and knew it was closed until lunchtime for an event, but when we arrived there was a stage and seating laid out for a concert in the nave, and before we'd finished, the choir stalls were locked down for a choir to perform/practice. Listening to the voices was amazing, but we'd not been pre warned, so we could visit the stalls before they started, and I was stopped from taking a photo through the opening because the choir had a no photo agreement, even though I was only taking the ceiling and they wouldn't have featured.

Nice cathedreal, with a few interesting pictures and pieces of architecture. The front of it looks impressive! Altough the the room with the kids stuff gets kind of disturbed from the grave-thing (??) that stands in it, and you have to pay to get in :/ (picture is blurry because I got it from a Video)

At de klarte å bygge slike fantastiske byggverk uten de maskinene og verktøy vi har i dag er helt utrolig! Lichfield Cathedral er et fantastisk byggverk, og Lichfield er en liten og utrolig fin by/sted. Anbefaler å besøke Lichfield, ta en kaffe eller noe annet godt å drikke og besøke katedralen.

Beautiful cathedral to walk around and yours available on site. We visited as a school group and the children had a fantastic time learning about the architecture and the cathedral itself. The staff and volunteers were friendly and helpful, well worth a visit!

We arrived late so we didn't get to learn the history of the cathedral. One of the largest cathedrals that I have visited. Beautiful artistry inside. Well worth a visit if you are in Lichfield.

Lichfield Cathedral has many examples of our history within it. I am not religious but the beauty of this Cathedral is stunning, the people are also welcoming and friendly. The city itself is also small and friendly. I also recommend a visit to Erasmus Darwin's house and garden. Minster and Stowe Pool are perfect for seeing ducks, herons etc and are lovely to walk around (even in the rain). Lichfield is my favourite city, plenty of places to eat, shop, or sit, relax and reflect

We have been to the cathedral before, but went to see the Threads Through Creation exhibition, which was beautiful and thought provoking. Lichfield is a lovely city and the cathedral is worth a visit if you haven’t been before. It’s unique because of its three spires. I withheld a star because there was a lot of pressure to give the voluntary donation, which really felt more like an entry fee. I don’t mind giving and usually do, but the cathedral is a place of worship and prayer where people should not feel they can only enter if they can afford it. I know these places require a lot of funds for upkeep, but let’s remember their purpose.

Nestled in the charming city of Lichfield, the Cathedral is a must visit gem, showcasing stunning Gothic architecture and magnificent stained glass windows.
Currently, visitors can enjoy the captivating "Threads through Creation" exhibition. A stunning display beautifully illustrates the beginning of life and the fall from grace in the Garden of Eden, all depicted on intricate silk panels.
The cathedral is conveniently located within walking distance of nice restaurants and delightful shops.
Additionally, the cathedral is just a five minute walk from Beacon Park, offering pleasant surroundings and a serene atmosphere.
Lichfield Cathedral is a perfect blend of historical grandeur and cultural enrichment.
