Cathedral at Night at Lichfield Cathedral - Friday 13 May
Cathedrals at Night: a new nationwide campaign invites visitors to see the historic and sacred space of Lichfield Cathedral in a new light.
Lichfield Cathedral will open after hours to welcome in visitors for free, part of the first coordinated nationwide Cathedrals at Night campaign in the UK.
This year, Lichfield Cathedral is joining 13 other participating Church of England cathedrals and its partners to offer people a Cathedrals at Night experience where visitors of all ages can immerse themselves in the culture and spirituality of this beautiful building and enjoy a taste of cathedral life for free.
Lichfield Cathedral will open its doors on May 13 at 19:30 ending with the compline service at 21:40. During the evening visitors will be able to walk a meditative route around the ancient Cathedral at their own pace, experiencing a softly candle-lit space with ambient, contemplative music and opportunity to appreciate the spirituality of the place. The evening is an informal, drop-in style, event and all are welcome.
It is hoped Cathedrals At Night will become a regular date in the diary for English Cathedrals and their partners beyond 2022.
The Very Revd Adrian Dorber, the Dean of Lichfield and chair of the AEC, said: “This simple campaign is a fantastic opportunity for us to celebrate our cathedrals and their rich spiritual heritage in new and exciting ways".
