★★★★★a month agoThe Cathedral was really beautiful. The outside is gothic but once you get in there is lots of color everywhere . The architecture inside is magnificent . The entrance is free and you're giving a map with explaination about the cathedral . There are very kind volunteers as well to answer your questions and give you lots of information . Very close to public transport and big shopping mall . There is a lovely garden outside the Cathedral . Definitely worth the visit .

★★★★★5 months agoA truly magical experience inside Manchester Cathedral. LUMINISCENCE is beautifully curated — the light projections, music, and atmosphere transform the space without overpowering its history or spirituality. The gospel group was outstanding, with truly amazing singing skills that added real depth and emotion to the evening. Immersive, calming, and visually stunning from start to finish. Highly recommended.
