Manchester Cathedral has been centre stage in its city’s history for nearly 600 years. In 1421 Henry V signed a royal charter granting permission for a collegiate church to be built. In 1847 a new Manchester diocese was created and this historic church became a Cathedral. The doors are open 7 days a week and the admission is free. Do not miss one of the most interesting churches in the land at the heart of one of the most exciting cities on Earth.

I was walking past today and was so pleased to see the shop is open again selling incense, Buddhist gifts, malas and beads, Buddhist statues, singing bowls, books, yoga equipment as well as a selection of fair trade drinks, snacks and toiletries. Even with the COVID secure screen at the till it sill looks really open and staff were as friendly as ever. They’ve taken great care with the changes and sanitiser by the entrance/ exit. Oh and there’s currently some lovely hand knitted gifts. Great to support local businesses and charities.

A beautiful building with incredible stained glass windows. It was nice to see a little café inside with a real community feel to it. There looks to be a balcony but I didn't venture further to find out.

ThIs is the largest church in Manchester, and is a truly magnificent building. Despite the busy main road outside, the serene atmosphere inside lends itself to contemplation, prayer or just quiet time whilst admiring the architecture and decoration of the building.

With my short stay in Manchester, I sought this church for catholic mass service - and it was all worth it! Located near Albert Square and Town Hall, it was easy to find and provided a place for quiet contemplation and meditation. Now I know why it is called the "hidden gem"!
