Lichfield Cathedral is unique with its 3 magnificent spires and is referred to as ’Maids of the Vale’ or ’Ladies of the Vale’. Its beautiful gothic architecture makes it as awe-inspiring on the outside as it is the inside. Visitors are welcome to explore the cathedral and walk around the outside of the building in the medieval close that surrounds it. In addition to regular worship and services, concerts are held there throughout the year (including choral and classical music). In summer it hosts events and exhibitions as part of the Lichfield Arts Festival.
