The building is magnificent both inside and outside. The staff are very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. Take time to walk around and read the history and do take time to sit, think and offer a prayer - it will make you feel a lot better. Then go across the road to the Cathedral Coffee shop - brilliant too.

There was a wooden Cathedral in Lichfield from AD700 and the Christian Faith is embedded into the region. The discovery of the Lichfield Hoard only 500 metres as the crown flies from where I am writing has enhanced the understanding of this area as a hotbed of religious fervour and religious hatred from pagan groups...what's new? I was moved to write something about the Cathedral as it has just received a Trip Advisor award. It is a brilliant focus for the city with a magnificent story to tell. Just Visit and don't forget lichfieldcoachhouse provides excellent accommodation for the visitor.

Great architecture and always accessible as it is not a major tourist spot. Well worth a visit (as is the city as a whole).

Lichfield is a lovely little City and the Cathedral is magnificent inside and out. It is friendly at the best of times but has recently excelled when it became home for the very special occassion of local hero and the inspirational Stephen Suttons's 2 day vigil. Lichfield was aglow with yellow. The Cathedral was the heart of the City and the focal point for the love of the local people and followers of 'Stephen's Story' The Coffe shop and gift shops are in the Catherdral close and there are walks around Stowe pool and Minster pool nearby. Lichfield is close to many midland attractions and would be a great base to explore from.

I found the spaces awe-inspiring and we were offered a very warm welcome. I enjoyed the art that was displayed and seeing part of the Staffordshire Hoard. There was, however, a lot of chairs stacked around and I felt that spoiled the atmosphere a little.

I visited Lichfield Cathedral twice in one day.
While in the area, my mom & I decided to visit and pay our respects to Stephen Sutton, a charity fundraiser who had sadly passed away shortly before. The cathedral is free to enter, though they encourage donations towards the upkeep of the building. We left messages of condolence in the books, and afterwards had a look around the building.
The building really is beautiful - very gothic in style. There is even a kids' area within the cathedral for visiting youngsters! There were lots interesting artifacts and art on display.
We visited again later on in the evening, when Stephen was there for you to walk past and give his signature thumbs-up and pay respects. The cathedral handled the massive turnout very well, handing out water to visitors and offering candles to light and leave on the grounds. It looked gorgeous all lit-up in the dark!
Lichfield Cathedral is a beautiful place to visit, and I would recommend dropping by whether you are religious or not.

free to look around but you can make a donation towards the upkeep on leaving. Very knowledgeable volunteers to answer questions" very peaceful. Small gift shop inside but a larger one across the road. Lots for children (brass rubbing or trying to find the hidden cat in the stone work (located at the back wall of the side exhibition room rooms/chapel.
