Manchester Buddhist Centre has been a centre for teaching and Buddhist practice since 1977 and we have been in our current location in the Northern Quarter since 1996.

We have taught meditation and Buddhism to thousands of people from Greater Manchester and beyond. We are well known for our friendly, informal style of teaching, exploring what Buddhism can teach us in the modern West. Newcomers are very welcome at mid-week lunchtime meditation and Saturday morning Buddhism and meditation sessions, with no need to book ahead. We also have courses and workshops for all levels of interest and experience, along with Sangha retreats.  

Visitors are very welcome ­– we have been awarded a Marque of Excellence for our outstanding welcome to visitors, tourists and people new to the Centre.
