Manchester Cathedral

Construction of Manchester Cathedral began in 1421, and today, it's one of the city's most recognisable landmarks. You're welcome to attend church services, but it's also a popular events venue and visitor attraction. Countless visitors come to the cathedral to enjoy its jaw-dropping architecture and peaceful atmosphere.

The cathedral has dramatic and intricate Gothic architecture with lots of detail to look at. Although the building has been standing for centuries, its architecture has developed a lot—it was even damaged by German bombs during the Second World War, with reconstruction taking almost 20 years. The building also has impressive stained glass windows, some of which were installed as recently as 2016.

Public church services take place every day at Manchester Cathedral. These welcoming and inclusive services are open to all. The cathedral is also a popular choice for marriages, baptisms, and funerals. As well as events of this nature, it has its own programme of concerts, discussions, and bible studies classes, plus other events like markets and vintage sales. If you're looking for a memorable venue for an event, Manchester Cathedral might be just right. It's hosted events like brand launches, gala dinners, corporate events, and community events, with a range of spaces to suit different needs. The cathedral can assist with catering and bar services, too. Whatever your beliefs, this welcoming cathedral is worth a visit and plays a number of roles in the community.
