In many ways- from the lack of pews to the modern stained glass to the design of the organ, this cathedral feels quite different to what I'm used to. A really good integration of old and new with lots of interesting things to see- appreciated being handed a printed guide as we entered. I also like cathedrals you don't have to pay to visit, which never sits right with me- so top marks on that score too.

The architecture was beautiful and stained-glass windows were modern. The atmosphere was calm and peaceful. There were some sculptures and artworks there. Free admission. Convenient location. We delighted to admire rehearsal of the show also. Definitely worth.

Came in during the Eversong choir performance, which was actually my first time witnessing a church service (I’m not Christian) as well as my first time hearing an organ being played. That was a nice experience, though tbh I wouldn’t really recommend for just visiting since there’s nothing to really see inside for tourists. There was also a lot blocked out from viewing. I did like their message of peace during the service and the church members were quite welcoming

A visit to the area so thought we would pop into the Cathedral, I timed it just right to take Holy Communion which was really nice to do. This Cathedral isn’t a huge one, but it has a lot of history, lovely stained glass windows, and volunteers if you needed more information. It is free entry but please donate if you can, it costs £3k a day to run a building like this … they need all the help they can get .. if your in the area please do visit

Great tranquil experience in the middle of a busy Manchester. And better still, it’s FREE admission, a rarity in today’s world. Very interesting hour or so spent admiring the beautiful architecture. All in all, a gem in the heart of Manchester.

Lovely cathedral with some unique carvings. We were shown by a lovely staff gentleman the history behind the 16th century carvings by the choir stall seats. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The talented choir were in practice during our visit which made the whole visit thoroughly enjoyable. Entrance was free.

"Manchester Cathedral is absolutely beautiful. The Gothic architecture and stained glass windows are stunning. It's always so peaceful inside, a lovely place for some quiet reflection. A piece of Manchester's history that's well worth visiting. - Anna Thompson"
