Our series of services in the churches local to the university bring together beautiful choral music and moments of reflection in a welcoming and relaxed setting. With choral music sung by the Diocese of Manchester Choral Scholars, these free services offer the opportunity to step away from the pace of campus life and enjoy a moment of stillness, reflection and worship.
University life can be busy and demanding. Whether you’re looking for a quiet pause in the week, would love to hear live choral music, or are curious for a place to explore your faith, these services offer a space to pause, breathe and simply be. Come and enjoy the music, take some time for yourself, and discover a warm welcome.
Everyone is Welcome
You do not need to be a regular churchgoer or have any previous experience of worship to attend. Come as you are, take time to breathe, listen, reflect and, if you wish, join in the prayers and worship.
There’s no expectation and no pressure – just a welcoming space, beautiful music and an opportunity to pause for a while.
