Dating in Manchester
In shortManchester mixes old churches with lively new congregations, and the city centre is easy to reach by tram and train. An early evening service is short and peaceful. It leaves the rest of the evening free if you want to keep talking.
A first date idea
Choral evensong at Manchester Cathedral
Choral evensong is sung by the Manchester Cathedral Choir on Sundays and Monday to Thursday at 5:30pm, and lasts about 45 minutes. Outside term time, Evening Prayer is held instead at an earlier time. Times can change, so check the cathedral's listing first.
