New Hidden Heights tours announced
Following the need for conservation work on the central spire, we are pleased to introduce an alternative to our popular tower tour.
The new Hidden Heights tour will explore walkways through medieval beams and rooftop parapets which are not normally open to the public, where you can enjoy views over Lichfield and the surrounding countryside.
Tours last one hour.

The tower tour route is 90 narrow spiral steps to the height of the Nave ceiling. You must be fit and healthy to climb the spiral steps. The Hidden Heights tour does not take visitors to the top of the central tower.

· The tour is open only to adults and children 8 years old and over.
