About Manchester Cathedral
Manchester Cathedral, formally the Cathedral and Collegiate Church of St Mary, St Denys and St George, in Manchester, England, is the mother church of the Anglican Diocese of Manchester, seat of the Bishop of Manchester and the city's parish church.
Manchester Cathedral Description
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.
This Grade I listed masterpiece has not only provided a stage on which the city of Manchester’s compelling history has been played out but also provided some of the leading actors for this narrative. Century after century the stone walls have survived wars and bombings, Henry VIII’s reformation and Queen Elizabeth I’s spy, witnessed the birth of the world’s anti-slavery movement and lived the Industrial Revolution first hand.
There are medieval quires and ancient archives, bees on the roof and kangaroos carved on thrones, choristers running to practice and artists drawing in aisles. Classical music concerts served with coffee and wines fairs set to jazz.
This is an invitation to join us. 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.
This is Manchester’s Cathedral. Not to be missed

Manchester Cathedral is a place of welcome for all and is committed to being an inclusive cathedral. We are very aware that people who use British Sign Language (BSL) as a first or preferred language have very few opportunities to worship in a church in their own language.
We are therefore pleased to announce the introduction of British Sign Language (BSL) interpreted Sunday Eucharists as a way of ensuring that our services are more accessible to ...BSL users.
The 10.30am Eucharist on the first Sunday of every month will be a BSL (British Sign Language) interpreted service. This service will be said due to the choir holidays.
We look forward to welcoming BSL users to be part of the Cathedral congregation.
