Lichfield Cathedral Reviews

Beautiful, the rest of the town centre is too, steeped in history with the Samuel Johnson museum plus more. Well worth a visit

It's one of the most beautiful cathedrals with more than 1300 years old very well maintained entry is free but they ask for a donation because they say to keep up the cathedral running they need 3 pounds per hour and all the money almost will be invested in this beautiful artwork cathedral

I visited recently for the first time since my childhood, which brought back lots of positive memories. The Gothic architecture is stunning and I also enjoyed the memorial to the Staffordshire Regiment within the cathedral. The cafe serves good quality fare at fair prices.

It was so beautiful it was mesmerising I did definitely return so peaceful and tranquil xxx

Beautiful place with many interesting parts. Small as cathedrals go but a delight to visit.

Lichfield Cathedral in Lichfield, Staffordshire, is the only medieval English cathedral with three spires.
The Diocese of Lichfield covers Staffordshire, much of Shropshire, and parts of the Black Country and West Midlands...
Beautiful building and also a beautiful little city to visit. There are the houses of Erasmus Darwin (granfather of Charles Darwin) and Samuel Johnson, author of the first English dictionary...

Beautiful historic building. Well worth a visit even if just for the architecture.

Lovely historic building and views. Definitely recommend

In my opinion, the most beautiful cathedral on the world and I have seen quite a few

Wonderful Cathedral...lovely staff and great Christmas tree display. The stained glass windows are magnificent

This is such a wonderful cathedral and the staff are very helpful.

Fantastic inside and out well worth a visit free entry donations asked for and greatly give awesome arctecture

Love this Cathedral on so many levels. Took our Grandchildren to visit who were enthralled. Well worth a visit.

Beautiful Cathedral.
Highly recommended.

What a wonderful evening at the cathedral we have not been to the grub club before and it was great , wonderful to see familys and there children enjoy the evening , everyone was so relaxed , the food was pretty good to, just wish it had been a little bit warmer, but really enjoyed It .

I would have given it six stars, as it's simply a magnificent Gothic style Cathedral. Normally, when I'm here, I've usually been herding a group of teenagers, and ensuring that they're both well behaved and respectfully quiet. Such a pleasure to wander around on my own, especially with the added bonus of the Turner Exhibition.

A beautiful setting, amazing architecture, I would recommend anyone to visit

If you're into architecture then this is well worth a visit.
Outside is great ...inside even better and Litchfield itself is worth a walk round .entry of cafes and shops ..nice and clean .A very up and coming town /city.

Not a religous place now .Jesus had the same problem years ago

New exhibition in August 2019! Sounds interesting! :)

A wonderful medieval cathedral, which I've been lucky enough to know all my life. I must comment on the one negative which is a shop at the west end of the nave. I can think of few things less appropriate within this holy place.

Love this cathedral cant get enough of it I've also done the famous cathedral dash 5 times.Its a beauty to look at and a gem inside

The great cathedral that needs to identify to the community.

Lovley building and people in there are very informative great place to visit.

Stunning cathedral in a beautiful town. Nice to have access to this building for just a donation.

Got there late afternoon so could only go around the outside. Fantastic carving and architecture, well worth seeing.

Lichfield Cathedral is the only medieval three-spired Cathedral in the UK, and is a treasured landmark in the heart of England. It is one of the oldest places of Christian worship, and the burial place of the great Anglo-Saxon missionary Bishop, St Chad.

This magnificent building has a rich history, reflected in its architecture and treasures. As a place of great beauty, it continues to inspire and encourage all who visits it as tourists, pilgrims or worshippers.

We are committed to the daily offering of worship and prayer to God, and offer spiritual nourishment and welcome all who come on their own journey of search and discovery.

In addition to daily services, the Cathedral also acts as a stunning venue for a range of events including concerts, gala dinners, festivals, awards ceremonies, performances, debates, educational forums and more.

History of the cathedral well-presented inside it and in the area just outside that saw the battling between Royalists and Parliamentarians.

Wonderful historic building. The architecture is outstanding. The interactive displays are a very good idea.

A wonderful building, it's a lovely walk round the Cathedral and well worth a look inside too.

How can this get anything other than five stars? I mean, look at it.

Well recommend this Cathedral as it is absolutely fantastic place to visit

Beautiful building. Always pay a visit here when in Lichfield to light a candle for my dear old late Nan.

A superb building with outstanding mouldings and carvings

Love live proof of faithful people, and their display of love n devotion

Amazing architecture, ideal setting for light, sound and vision events. Lying size by side on the floor gazing up at the galaxy, great memory. So good to have religion embracing the real world.

One of the finest cathedrals in the country and the only one with three spires.

What a disappointment. Visited on the 17th Dec to see The Cathedral Illuminated show and instead saw a show of mis-management by the event staff.

Upon having our tickets checked, we were placed into a large group of people with no instruction. Our entry was delayed as the staff were calling through tickets from half an hour prior. Eventually, the large group that had accumulated were given access to the cathedral grounds in something akin to a stampede. The grounds themselves were poorly lit, which made navigation difficult and I fell over a chain fence that had not been clearly signposted, it was invisible in the darkness. When meeting the event staff at the next checkpoint, we were told that an incident had held up the groups and caused a delay. We were eventually let through to watch the main show on the Cathedral, but were met with large crowds and people from the next groups cutting across the Cathedral grounds, ignoring the event staff, in order to gain access to the cathedral. We decided to leave at this point and reported our concerns to the event staff on the gate, they listened to our comments but seemed passive regarding our experience offering us tickets to go around again that night, but the large groups still lingering. When mentioning the chain link fence, I was told it would be sorted tomorrow.

We ended up missing out on the show inside of the Cathedral to much disappointment.

Overall, a dire performance and a complete disgrace to the Cathedral. The event management ruined what was meant to be a magical Christmas event.
