Lichfield Cathedral
Latest Reviews
Having worked in Lichfield in the long distant pre-COVID past, I've always loved to be around the Cathedral even as an agnostic - families and friends having picnics on the grass in the summer, hosting the Food Festival on its grounds, and appreciating the sheer grandness of the architecture and stained glass. It's such a beautiful landmark.
But the Museum of the Moon exhibition really is something special. If you're free before 31st October, drop by to see it - it's only £5 for entry in the evening (which I believe is the exhibition as it's truly meant to be viewed - the installation is internally lit with a soft glow, and there's a beautiful ambient soundtrack). It's stunning from every angle, some people even lay down on the floor to view it from below - you simply can't get bored of looking at it.
There are plenty of seats around with opportunities to grab refreshments (and from an accessibility perspective, there is a ramp for the main entrance). I didn't partake of the food on offer, but I did just sit and soak up the atmosphere for an hour. The gift shop is open too with some cute space-themed paraphernalia for little gifts, or for the kids.
I'll definitely look into more night-time Cathedral events, and I hope they consider hosting more immersive art like this!

After a £5 donation for 2 adults it’s an amazing place of worship to wander around. The floating moon was an added bonus. Try to also visit the free herb garden and check out the surrounding houses amazing history.

After a bit of confusion regarding ‘visitors welcome’ hours on the Sunday we were in Lichfield, we managed to get in and explore. Shortly thereafter we were invited to take a quiet seat and experienced a beautiful Evensong service, the lovely choral voices bringing sacred sounds to match the amazing architecture and craftsmanship of this beautiful house of worship and community.

Entry is free but a donation is the correct way to proceed.
Beautiful architecture, amazing history and the place where the more prominent people in Lichfield are rightly so honoured.
A couple of hours to be amazed, a totally sublime moment, a grandiose cathedral that is part of the best parts in history of England.
The heart of the community, and at present a large moon to sit and gaze at.
Wonderful experience.

Wonderful building with an interesting history. We recommend the hidden heights tour which was packed with information and an opportunity to see more of the Cathedral and city.

Welcoming and friendly staff. Great to see so many young people in the cathedral. The ‘moon’ is an incredible structure and was well worth the visit.
