About

Manchester Cathedral

Manchester Cathedral offers a spectacular historic setting for events in the heart of Manchester’s Medieval Quarter. Dating from the 15th century, the Grade I listed Cathedral combines dramatic Gothic architecture and centuries of heritage with the flexibility to host contemporary events. The venue is suitable for conferences, gala dinners, receptions, concerts, product launches and corporate events, with the impressive Nave providing a particularly memorable backdrop for large-scale occasions. Modern AV, bespoke lighting and catering can also be incorporated into events.
