EXCLUSIVE Hallé St Peter’s Tour 
Saturday 3 October and Saturday 7 November, 2020

Hallé St Peter’s is a beautiful church dating from 1859 that is light, airy and uplifting. In 2019 the building opened a superb extension designed by Stephenson Studios, completing the Hallé Orchestra’s rehearsal and community spaces in Ancoats. In some respects this extension completes the redevelopment of this part of Ancoats.

 I’ve been given exclusive access all areas to Hallé St Peter’s. Guests will be able to capture some lovely photos and listen to some fascinating stories.

After the tour of the building there will be a tour of Ancoats looking at how this suburb has dramatically changed. Again there will be lots of fascinating stories and things to see including spectacular post-industrial scenes.

Please read my article here on Manchester Confidential for more information and pictures.

​25% of the fee goes to Hallé St Peters.


Meet: Hallé St Peter’s, 40 Blossom St, Manchester M4 6B 

BOOKING AHEAD IS ADVISABLE.

The booking confirmation from Paypal acts as your ticket, so please print and bring along or have it ready on your smart phone or other device.



PLEASE CHECK THIS WEBSITE 24 HOURS BEFORE THE TOUR IN CASE A SITUATION ARISES WHICH MAY AFFECT THE TOUR.
