The Beach at Your Cathedral

As Britain’s most landlocked Cathedral, we want to bring an unfamiliar landscape to Lichfield – a beach on the West Front.

During the school summer holidays, from 22 July until 31 August, Lichfield Cathedral will have a beach installed on the West Front. This will give visitors the opportunity to visit a beach 100 miles from the sea and get that laid-back holiday feel without getting on a plane. Alongside the beach will be a varied programme of daily activities, deckchairs to while away the time, refreshments on offer, and an 8m-high climbing wall (on specific dates).

The Shrine of St Chad

We will recreate the shrine of St Chad, our founding bishop and co-patron saint, whose original shrine here was a focus of Christian hope, healing and pilgrimage.
