What a truly amazing place the cathedral is. Tonight we are here to watch the Lichfield Youth Theatre performing Songs from the Musicals and what a magical place to perform it in.
Living some 50 miles away it is such a treat to attend Evensong, services and the fabulous shows.
We have never attended a classical orchestral evening, do they have one, but the acoustics are wonderful.
Usual plenty of parking around Lichfield, some free after 6, so look around for them. Us, we use the train.
No loo in the cathedral I'm afraid, so if you're wrinklies like the misses and I go over the road beside the cathedral by the cafe, before going in.

Beautiful Cathedral but shame we arrived when they were tuning the Organ!!! Awful sound!! Plus they were closing for 2 hours due to a royal visit! Perhaps should have checked their website pre visit! Tea shop was great though ... Couldn't do enough for us!

Not the largest or most spectacular cathedral I’ve ever been to, but very interesting, with some of the most beautiful collection of stained glass windows i’ve ever seen. An three spires!

We enjoyed revisiting Lichfield Cathedral, learning more about its history, seeing the Doctor Johnson portrait and grateful to the gentleman who talked about the angel.

Didn’t “feel “ it here . Little information given out here. I am a great church/cathedral visitor , but, I am sorry to say this one left me cold .
Over zealous staff , pushing too hard for donations didn’t help I am afraid. I know funds are needed , but, it was quite embarrassing to hear their spiel.

Well worth a visit , lots of information, free entry but would recommend a generous donation so that this can continue. Good gift shop.

Lichfield Cathedral is an absolutely stunning church, the only medieval cathedral with three spires in England [Truro in Cornwall has one with three spires, but it's not medieval]. Visitors will find this place in an utterly beautiful state of conservation, including the simply marvelous painted glass windows. There's a lot to explore here, and you should calculate at least 1.5 hours to inspect most of the artworks and artifices. The entry is free, and you're allowed to take pictures at no extra cost. Donations are suggested of course, but unlike the people at e.g. Salisbury Cathedral, they don't hammer the point home. Having visited maybe two dozens of such churches over the past ten years, I would rate Lichfield Cathedral an 9 out of 10 [My personal favourite is Ely Cathedral]. If you ever come to this city, a visit is mandatory.

The building lacks the visual impact of many other cathedrals due in large part to the stone of which it was built.The structure clearly needed much renovation from the attention it received from the Victorian restorers but when one considers the craftsmanship they bought to the task that in itself is impressive. Sad to see the statue of King Charles left outside to moulder.

Marvellous . . .

Incredible as you walk around the exterior, the sculptures of the saints are multiple and incredibly impressive. Walking the vista is breathtaking. The carvings, the whole of the interior is such an awe inspiring dedication to their God. There are multiple chapels, and the access allowed is incredible as many places of worship significantly restrict the areas you can enjoy, Not here! Whilst we were there a choir was rehearsing and the acoustics were breathtaking. A must visit for anyone of any faith, or none, to truly enjoy an incredible historic and architectural achievement that we can all enjoy. I hope you are lucky enough to hear a choir even close to the harmonic beauty of the one we enjoyed (by chance). I am truly glad that we "dropped by when we were in the area".
