What 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.

We had our wedding at the Monastery in August and it was a glorious experience! Our coordinator Chloe went above and beyond to customise our day and accomodate for all the things that were important to us from creating a photo corner to giving us access to a side room for half the day so we had somewhere to recouperate and relax. The service staff were incredibly kind and cheerful and provided excellent and seamless service throughout the night and didn't rush us to take everything back on the same day. The food was also exceptional! I cannot wait to be invited to a wedding/event there so I can have the food again! I would recommend the Monastery because of the beautiful and ornate building and garden (which helps saving on decoration and veue dresssing) and also the kind and helpful staff.

Beautiful building. I came here for a sound bath last week. Afterwards I ate in the Cafe and then had a wander around the building. I’ll definitely come back for some of the other sessions and activities.

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

Hi. I visited the Monastery today with 2 friends. It was the Little Owls Christmas fair. The fair was lovely, lots of nice hand crafted items. We walked around in what would have been the main area of the Monastery. What a calm atmosphere. We looked at all the areas and read the history of the Monastery . What an amazing place and so tastefully and sensitively re built from such dereliction. We had a coffee in the small but functional cafe. The boards around the Monastery gave you blast from the past with all the pictures and memories of Belle Vue which was again fantastic. The Monastery do so much to keep this wonderful building alive. You can watch tribute bands, take part in health healing, there's lots on offer. Well worth a visit. Free entry, free carpark. Easy access for people with disabilities. Absolutely fabulous. Thank you so much for the hard work you put in this piece of history. X
