The Monastery Manchester is a magnificent building designed by Augustus Pugin, and was once listed in the world’s 100 most endangered sites.
Following an extensive restoration scheme, the hidden treasure is now a beautiful and stunning location for a range of corporate, social and cultural occasions. This unique Grade II* listed venue is the perfect setting for any special event. With impressively versatile internal spaces, The Monastery's in-house team can help create an experience which guests will never forget.\
Located only minutes away from Manchester city centre, The Monastery is easily reached with good transport links.
The Monastery Manchester is managed by the same charitable trust that saved it from dereliction 23 years ago. All profits from events go back into the community outreach projects and restoration work on the Grade II* listed building.
The Learning Space is a bright and airy conference room, with modern facilities. The space is perfect for training courses, team meetings, and lectures.

November 2019Everything was perfect for my get together, all the ladies enjoyed themselves thoroughly. The table settings were lovely and the food was excellent. We even had a sing in the Nave. We couldn’t believe when it was time for us to leave even the sun shone so we could walk in the Healing Garden. Thank you so much for making my day so pleasurable I will not hesitate to recommend the Monastery for a function and I am sure a lot of the ladies will be back. Thanks again Ann

November 2019Thanks once again to you and the Monastery team for making the evening a great success. A special thanks to John and Glen for everything they did on the day too which I know is always a full on day but they were both incredibly helpful and a pleasure to work with so please pass on our gratitude.

February 2025Fantastic place, a must-see in Manchester. Very atmospheric, wonderfully restored, brilliant Victorian gothic architecture, excellent cafe, very friendly staff, even has a fridge magnet!

January 2025What a lovely venue, as we attended a classic concert of Valaldis Four Seasons held in the Monastery. The acoustics and sound was great and crystal clear. They definitely don't make buildings or Churches like that anymore.
