I visited it on a weekday on my visit to Manchester. I found it a very well organised church from inside out. It is present at Manchester city centre near the national football meuseum. It is a Very fine and rich architectural art work which can be realised as soon as you step inside and see the walls, ceilings, pillars, statues etc. I definitely can say it's been managed and run by a very well coordinated and skilled team after seeing the arrangements, functioning and Cleanliness there. There were availability of paper/prayer form and light to write your wish and pray for by lighting up a candle. Candles were kept there for free for the visitors. This place is also a beautiful work to understand history. I am a hindu, i visited here and made a wish by lighting the candle. Loved the environment.
The Cathedral was really beautiful. The outside is gothic but once you get in there is lots of color everywhere . The architecture inside is magnificent . The entrance is free and you're giving a map with explaination about the cathedral . There are very kind volunteers as well to answer your questions and give you lots of information . Very close to public transport and big shopping mall . There is a lovely garden outside the Cathedral . Definitely worth the visit .
Recently attended Ibiza Anthems classics at Manchester Cathedral an wow what an experience!! 😍 Never been inside the cathedral before although past plenty times whilst in Manchester but wow what a setting for such an event. The bullding not massive an doesn't hold many people posisble few hundred, but this made for a quite intermate evening. The event was fully but didn't leave you feeling claustrophobic, place was well lay out, drink were fairly prices an access to the fercilities was easy with no rely cues. Deffently be looking for more events at this venue an certainly be attending this show again next year!!
Wonderful setting for Bach's St Matthew Passion by Manchester Baroque on Good Friday. A unique and awe inspiring building with an impressive history and a personal and warm welcome. Free entry to see building and to pray. Regular venue for concerts. Set in a very picturesque part of central Manchester surrounded by cafes, restaurants and shops.
A truly magical experience inside Manchester Cathedral. LUMINISCENCE is beautifully curated — the light projections, music, and atmosphere transform the space without overpowering its history or spirituality. The gospel group was outstanding, with truly amazing singing skills that added real depth and emotion to the evening. Immersive, calming, and visually stunning from start to finish. Highly recommended.
