Owing to building works, the Lady Chapel is not currently accessible.

The Tree Festival returns!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Lichfield Cathedral as preparations begin for the hugely popular Christmas Tree Festival which begins on Saturday 27 November and runs through to Sunday 02 January.

The Cathedral will be decked with 45 Christmas Trees, decorated and sponsored by businesses, charities, local organisations and schools, ranging from Lichfield Litter Legends to the National Memorial Arboretum, and from Pool House Vets to the Plant Pot Garden Centre.

Visitors will be able to vote for their favourite tree and all proceeds raised will go to the Friends of Lichfield Cathedral who work tirelessly to raise money to support the 900-year-old Cathedral and to preserve it for future generations. Visitors are asked to check the Lichfield Cathedral website for opening times, which will vary from day to day during the very busy lead up to Christmas.

Tickets are selling quickly for the ever-popular ‘The Cathedral Illuminated’ – the magnificent sound and light exhibition created by the award-winning team Luxmuralis. This year the theme is ‘The Manger’ and the nativity story will be told through images projected onto the iconic west front of the Cathedral as well as the floors, walls and ceiling of the Cathedral and the Old Palace building in The Close.

A spokesperson for the Cathedral said, “The award-winning ‘The Cathedral Illuminated’ will see the magnificent centuries-old building bathed in sound and light. It’s a not-to-be-missed, wonderfully family-friendly event, which brings to life the story which lies right at the very heart of Christmas.”

Tickets for The Cathedral Illuminated, which runs each evening from Thursday 16th to Wednesday 22nd December, can be purchased here and further details of all the Advent and Christmas services can also be found here.
