The Monastery

Manchester's magnificent Monastery is Pugin's architectural masterpiece. It sits alongside the Taj Mahal and the ancient ruins of Pompeii as having been listed in the 100 most endangered sites in the world, with a rich heritage that should never be lost. Following a £6.5 million restoration scheme, this hidden treasure has taken its place as one of the UK's most inspiring venues for any corporate, social or cultural occasion. We are open to the public every Sunday from 12:00 until 4:00pm but run many special events, please see our website for full listings. Refreshments are available in the Friars Pantry and there is free secure on-site parking.
