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.

Easy to get to with plenty of nearby parking or public transport and a good selection of eateries for a pre or after-concert meal or drink.
