We have visited to the cathedral a few times over the years, it's a wonderful, peaceful place.
We went in for a visit while in Lichfield for an overnight stay and we're very surprised to find the tower tour was on its last week of the year, we booked straight away and looked around for a few minutes before it began.
There are quite a few steps involved as you would expect and there are some small and narrow doorways to negotiate. For me it adds to the experience, a lot of the staircases are the original spiral kind and are a bit worn in places but easy enough to get up and down and there are handrails as well to help.
We had 2 tour guides who complemented each other with their mix of knowledge and expertise. The tour is relaxed with plenty of interesting facts, some of them rather shocking, as various places are reached. The views are superb, it was a bit chilly as it was the end of October but that didn't take anything away from the experience.
Well worth booking, but you are outside for parts of it so it is a bit weather dependent.

Beautiful cathedral that had Christmas Tree display inside. Inside stunning, almost breathtaking. Outside also stunningly beautiful but the stone work is very very grimy with years of dirt and I suspect pollution. Don’t be put off by this though.

We had an excellent tour of Lichfield Cathedral treasures with Graham Burrows, an extremely knowledgeable volunteer, who brought to life the history not just of the Cathedral but also of Lichfield. Thank you Graham!

Brilliant evening of Adele by candlelight. Natalie Black one of the best tribute bands I’ve seen.
Natalie created a lovely atmosphere and all her renditions were like having Adele there.
Can’t fault it. Definitely worth a visit when she’s back later in the year.

Visited early in the day as I attended a concert at night. Wow! What a magnificent building. I've never seen so many sculptures on one building face. Free to enter but was asked for a donation, which wasn't a problem. Walked around, taking in the workmanship and scenery. Attended the concert at night and Phwoar! The sound reverberatesd around the building. Awesome night was had.

We took a trip to Litchfield Cathedral today having booked the rooftop tour.
This is an amazing trip, packed with interesting information given by two guides.
Definitely need the instructions on tickets, definitely wear a good sturdy pair boots/shoes.
Staircases are narrow and spiral but there are opportunities for a rest if you need it.
Stunning views at the top and I would highly recommend it.
