Lichfield Cathedral illuminated

Lichfield Cathedral has been illuminated as part of a national project.

Opening hours were extended yesterday (29th August) as part of [the Cathedrals at Night initiative](https://www.englishcathedrals.co.uk/events-filter/?slug=cathedrals-at-night&ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk).

The event also saw artist-in-residence Peter Walker illuminate the exterior of Lichfield Cathedral.

The Very Revd Adrian Dorber, Dean of Lichfield Cathedral, said:

> “Cathedrals at Night was an opportunity for anyone who wished to experience the wonder of the cathedral ‘out of hours’.  
>  
> “There is a lively hustle and bustle during the day, but the evening provides a special kind of tranquillity when the cathedral speaks in different ways.”
