Commanding a prominent location in the City this magnificent cathedral is human scale.
Superb carvings and statues
Very welcoming internally with wondrous acoustics.
A great setting around the square with the period buildings surrounding it. An architectural gem well worth the visit.

We visited Lichfield to do a spot of Christmas shopping and it was a busy Saturday so we were looking for somewhere to get a bit of respite from the crowds. We saw this imposing building from down a side street and thought we'd take a look round as we always enjoying visiting the cathedrals of new cities.
The actual front of the cathedral is stunning, architecturally with three gothic spires. Inside is just as magnificent and totally peaceful. You can't help yourself but to get lost in awe as you amble quietly around. Entrance is free but when you start to read the information on how much it costs to keep the building open just on a single day it makes you immediately want to donate to keep such a gorgeous building open and intact.
Definitely worth a visit if you are in Lichfield!

We are so lucky living in Lichfield to have this beautiful cathedral.
I visit many times, I wanted to pray for my darling husband and reflect.
Such an emotional time for me, but I felt all the better for going.

A fantastic display of lights on the walls of the Cathedral followed by a tour of the trees inside the Cathedral. Friendly staff and volunteers. The display was free and some refreshments were available to buy (hot and cold drinks and cakes). Well worth a visit just remember to book your tickets in advance.

We were asked to make a voluntary donation as we walked in, which was a bit of a surprise as we had read that visiting was free and we would have donated anyway. Very friendly staff, and I liked all the kneelers embroidered by individual Deanery people. The Nave was being decorated for Palm Sunday with huge Palm branches at the end of some of the pews. We visited again for the Palm Sunday service the following day. It started with a procession from Speaker's Corner on Dam Street with clergy and congregation following afterwards. The great West Door was opened to allow entry of all the people (minus the donkey) and the cathedral service began. A memorable experience.

All Cathedrals are really much the same, and this falls in to this bracket. Having wandered around a lot of them you get used to seeing amazing stuff that is very old, and that is all wrong really as each one is, like this, an amazing space when you consider how old they are.
Anyway, as there is no charge to get in your cannot go wrong (we always make a donation).

A lovely cathedral with a fascinating history. The Chapter House contains one of the oldest books in Britain, the St Chad bible from 730 AD.
