Manchester Buddhist Centre is a haven of calm amongst the Northern Quarter’s exciting buzz. They offer a space for meditation, movement and immersion in Buddhist practises whilst also being an open resource for people of any religious beliefs.

The centre hosts regular lunchtime meditation sessions as well as a shop with a large amount of buddhist literature on the shelves. Meditation sessions are open to all and range from introductory guided sessions through to a more advanced practice. The centre focuses its practise around friendship with an open attitude to any curious about meditation or Buddhism. Within their ethos they believe that everyone should have the opportunity to follow a path of ethics, meditation and wisdom.

Underneath the main centre you can find the Northern Quarter’s first sober bar, Hinterland. This unique drinking experience offers something in-between the worlds of a cafe and bar. With it’s soul soothing interiors and bar stocked with the best variety of non alcoholic beers, spirits and wines, it’s a must visit spot for those looking for a craft beverage which they won’t regret in the morning. We sampled a couple of their whiskey cocktails on a late evening visit and were pleasantly surprised by the body and flavour of the non-alcoholic alternatives.

In second floor of the centre you can also find Bodywise. This aesthetically stunning studio, in combination with three treatment rooms, is the centre’s space for physical healing. Yoga teachers, who are trained across a multitude of disciplines, hold group yoga classes as well as one to one sessions. Classes are designed to be accessible for all abilities with special classes for pregnancy yoga, Tai Chi and parent and baby yoga. Outside of yoga the physical treatments on offer include Acupuncture, Alexander Technique, career coaching, counselling and psychotherapy, homeopathy, hakomi, massage, reflexology, shiatsu and more.

Call into the centre on a lunch break or when you’re looking for a moment of peace while in the city centre to find out more.
