Arrived for a tour to find no tour and sign noting closed for major renovations. The outside is quite lovely, however I wonder if we could have seen a portion of the inside? Disappointed.

but nothing special. Was expecting a bit more. On the pictures it looked bigger than it actually is...
Even though it's closed, it's worth a look for the architecture and history of the place. We'll be back when it reopens.
The cathedral cafe is, in my opinion, the most interesting part of a visit to this comparatively bland cathedral which has insufficient history to rank alongside many of the great English cathedrals around the country. Spend half-an-hour but don't get your hopes up.
I love the cathedral - great venue for concerts with its' unique atmosphere and lovely architecture. It is simply in the middle of Manchester and worth a look.
We ate here actually some time ago after my father in laws funeral at the Cathedral,,having eaten there after my mother in laws funeral a few years earlier, lovely food and lovely service cannot fault it
We visited on Maundy Thursday, on a freezing day in the city, but we got such a warm welcome from the guides on duty. Although it was during Holy Week, the cathedral remained open for visitors and I was really pleased to be able to get back inside it after over ten years.
The buildings is going to be closed...

The architecture and history surrounding this well kept building. This is a busy tourist attraction and is open Bank Holidays.
What a fulfilling experience visiting Manchester Cathedral is,such a magnificent building and the feeling of history when in there is amazing.No matter what religion or views people hold a visit to this wonderful place should be a must for anyone visiting Manchester....
Nice place to see,looks very impressive but half empty with many things removed. Probably undergoing renovation.But there was no notice
