The Monastery Manchester

**The Welcome Wing is a perfect location for networking events and pre-dinner drinks. With direct access to the internal courtyard gardens, the Space offer lots of light, and a fantastic atmosphere.** There was magic in the air when the Franciscans first came to Gorton in 1861 with visions of a great friary at the heart of the community. Architect Edward Pugin’s inspiration led to astonishing tales of sacred geometry that we still wonder at today. The biggest story though is of the building’s miraculous survival against all odds. Come and be amazed by this wonderful tale of restoration.
