    Its worth the visit. Art is impressive. Please contribute for maintenance of the church if possible. The stained glass panels are amazing, both the set of 3 in the top of the church but also the smaller ones on the side. When i say smaller, they are still huge. These are possibly the most beautiful stained glass i have haver seen in the uk. Congrats for taking such care of the church.

    Lovely little church, went to see a Candlelit concert here. The staff, mostly volunteer's I suspect, were very efficient, friendly and helpful. The only discomfort was not having a cushion to sit on, which made sitting for a few hours somewhat uncomfortable.

    A very nice and quiet church in the middle of vibrant and lively Manchester. The interial and the glass window are very pleasant to look at explore and enjoy. Once you turn left coming from the market Street you see it at the end of St Anne's Square . Nice from the outside and more impressive when you are inside. Revisited today and it is still as good as remember it and as peaceful. To what add to the pleaure of the nice building the colorful glass and everything was talking to the priest / vicar there he was was so nice and pleasant person.

    Visited this church with my wife. The priest was very accommodating and opened the door for wheelchair access. Inside it's beautiful, with interesting plaques and stained glass. Quiet and great for contemplating and meditating, irrespective of your beliefs - I hate Christianity for ruining the Greco-Roman civilisation with a subsequent millennium of barbarism to follow. Would cancel Constantine if I had a time machine, for his treason. Christianity is one thing, but its followers are mostly nice people. Contactless donations are accepted - please donate, it could do with a little redecoration.

    The Exterior of the church architecture can be deceiving as a boring or flat looking but when go inside there is the warm feeling of peace and welcoming faces. The main service is always on Sundays but they still have services all through the week. Loved spending some time inside worshipping. There is not better place than a church to connect with the creator along with the congregation.

    This was my first time being inside St Ann's - on a tour with archeologist Steve Little before Christmas 2022. It was absolutely stunning but still has the reverent, calm atmosphere of a religious place. The stained glass work is beautiful. A lot of history here too and I would definite recommend to find yourself a guide as knowledgeable and passionate as Steve.

    Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue and a selection from Debussy, Rachmaninov, Liszt, Chopin and Beethoven by Candlelight after a sunny afternoon in Manchester was just the tonic for the Bank Holiday weekend. We ate Cicchetti @ San Carlo with a glass of wine along the way and let the train take the strain.Intimate setting and pretty stained glass windows created a lovely backdrop to beautiful acoustics. Warren Mailley-Smith is a joy.

    Quiet, as you would expect, welcoming and friendly people. Open all day, which these days is rare. Light a dedication candle, please leave a donation. Lovely light experience in the gloomy world we live in. Thank you.

    Lovely old church in the heart of the City Centre. The church is open 6 days a week (closed Monday). The church is not far away from Manchester Cathedral and is a quiet and welcoming venue.

    The best examples of British architectural and spiritual heritage include the 15th century Manchester Cathedral, as well as St Anne's Church, Manchester. The origin of the name of this shrine is associated not only with the name of the saint, but also with the patroness of the temple, Lady Anna Bland. The church was erected at the end of the 18th century - at that time it was an impressive building with two towers. Immediately after the construction of the church, its interior was very modest, and only in the 19th century did its appearance noticeably change, colored stained-glass windows appeared in place of glass in the windows. Next to the temple rises a square 42-meter tower with a high spire, on its upper level there is a bell tower with 5 bells. The vaults and walls inside are painted with various episodes from the life of St. Anna. Above the high oak altar there are three large stained-glass windows with faces of saints. Every Sunday there are services, organ concerts and events dedicated to classical music in St. Anne's Church.

    Loved it. The icons on the walls are spectacular. Every week there's a very nice ancient piano recital with historical study about it. Check timing with them before you go
