Lichfield isn't the first cathedral on many people's 'to visit' list which makes for a nice relaxing and enjoyable time there. The building is fascinating with it's history of repairs and damage aswell as it's general history and the St Chad connection. Do take the steps up to his chapel and get some unusual views from a higher level.
The guides were very informative and there is a nice cafe very close by and plenty of nearby car parking too.

Impressive church in small city. Lots to see, quiet on a Thursday morning. Friendly welcome from the young person at the door, reasonable to ask for donation not admission fee. No toilets or cafe.

Absolutely beautiful building with its various alters. The high vaulted ceiling and sculptures are breath taking. Well worth a visit.

This three spired cathedral is really interesting historically and architecturally. There is no entrance fee ( but donations invited) and volunteers are on hand to provide useful information. Well worth a visit.

first visit with daughter for artisan market.. 15minute walk from train station. toilets and cafe across road.
very busy and a queue to get in the door because you are counted. lots of volunteers on hand. all friendly especially the lady in charge of giftaiding forms.
range of stalls inside. local businesses especially food. cake stall recommended. we tried sausage risoto from italian store. daughter enjoyed i found too spicy. no rubbish bins inside.
we were asked for a donation. happily given for an hour looking around the church and stalls. . a good community space.
impressive front with statues and doors. tower can be seen from across lichfield. intricate details. lots to see. good examples of stained glass
polite young lady in gift store . answer questions about saint chad of mercia. it is good to see young people involved in the church.. there is a statue but not information boards about patron saint
shame there were no tours of the tower. we will return

This is on my list of pre 1500 AD Cathedrals to visit.. so far do e 22.. This is one of the best I've seen so far.. Not only the building, but also the people that welcome visitors to the place. (Note: all staff at all of the Cathedrals I have visited have been great)
This has free entry.. but I always make a donation (with gift aid) as it helps with the continued upkeep of the church.
The "staff" are very friendly and helpful and knowledgeable about the history of the Building.. Willing to impart their knowledge...
Make sure you look around... Notice the Mason's marks on the pillars... look at the "Bible exhibition".. and make sure you try and the "Green Man" sculptures/effigies...
