Heritage Open Days - September 2010
Last Updated on Wednesday, 25 August 2010 14:25
Heritage Open Days celebrates England’s fantastic architecture and culture by offering free access to properties, especially those that are usually closed to the public or normally charge for admission. Every year on four days in September, buildings of every age, style and function throw open their doors. It is a once-a-year chance to discover hidden architectural treasures and enjoy a wide range of tours, events and activities which bring to life local history and culture. Free of charge and literally on people’s doorstep, Heritage Open Days is an event for everyone, whatever their background, age and ability.
Manchester Cathedral is participating once again this year by putting on a special activities based on the medieval history of Manchester.
Edu-cake for Charity!
The Cathedral Education Team will be holding a coffee morning in the Cathedral on Saturday 11th September between 10.45 and 12.15 to raise funds for two educational projects. Please come along and support this event if you are able.
Proceeds will be split between the Asra Hawariat School Fund (the Ethiopian charity that Canon Shanks supports) and the Cathedral Education Department (to resource an activity trail for primary school children).
We would greatly appreciate any help you can offer, especially if you can provide a home baked cake or other handmade foods or gifts. We would also appreciate help with serving tea or coffee.
Please speak to Canon Shanks or Pam Elliott if you would like to offer your support, or if you have any questions relating to the event.
Many thanks,
Pam Elliott 0161 817 4814

Our old coffee-table style guide books to the Cathedral having run out, we’ve decided to replace them with a new text, to be published by Scala, who did our little walk-around guide booklets. This new book will appear hopefully in October. It will feature photographs by Angelo Hornak, who’s a bit of a specialist in cathedral guide book photography. And it will set out the history of the cathedral in time-line format.
