The friendly cathedral. We made two visits to this incredible and approachable cathedral. The first was to attend the solemn Sunday choral Evensong on June 29th, and for a general tour on Monday, June 30th. On both visits we were able to view the building with its depth of history and wonderful architecture. Choral evensong was a sheer delight and we sat deep in the midst of it. The service was warm generous and lovely to listen to. after the service we stayed to carefully wander around the cathedral and were regularly noting how splendid everything was. The next day we booked a general tour at a cost of £5 and were treated by Guide Graham to one of the best tours of a cathedral we have taken. Graham was so able to impart his enthusiasm and warmth for the building and its place in history and the community. Graham was warmth, full a telling stories and able to use illustrations to help us understand and appreciate what we were seeing. We would thoroughly encourage others to take such a tour. One of the impressive elements of both our visits was the use of large interactive displays which brought things to life. Another was the exhibition in the Chapter House charting the history of the bible within this country, with magnificent displays of information paired with the bibles they were explaining. When we were leaving the Chapter House on our tour with Graham, he pointed out something that we would never have seen. Carved in the capitals of a column were two boys: one was scrumping apples, the other was acting as a look-out.

Excellent guided tour up into the cathedral tower and onto the roof. A bit of a climb but it was expertly managed by our guide and steward. We were rewarded with great views of the internal construction, the spires, and the surrounding countryside.
In the church we got to see the massive 13m long table, created from a 5000 year old Fenland black oak.

Had a great visit to Lichfield Cathedral. Mark, our tour guide, was brilliant — friendly, knowledgeable, and made everything feel really engaging without going over the top. The whole experience was informative and relaxed, with a genuinely warm atmosphere. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

Really enjoyed our 90 minute tower tour on Sunday. Informative tour guides - David and George - and a really great experience to be inside the towers of the cathedral. Would definitely recommend (as long as you don’t mind climbing lots of stairs!)

The tower tour is fantastic, George and Graham took a group of us 12 in total up the narrow and steep staircase to the roof top. Both are very knowledgeable and entertaining. We continued on to the tower, it was a squeeze but the views in all directions was fantastic. Thank you Graham and George

Absolutely excellent Tour of the Tower this afternoon! George and Andy were very knowledgeable and we were all in awe of George’s knowledge and Passion for the Cathedral! It is a tour that is really worth doing to learn all about the History of the Cathedral and see the fantastic views looking out over Lichfield! George is a young man who will go far- well done George. Enjoy your third year at Birmingham!👍

Attended a show at the Cathedral. I have been to a few at this venue , but this show Tunde of The Lighthouse Family was by far the best. Amazing venue, well organised and friendly staff some of which are volunteers.
The accoustics sound great in the venue too.
