Often described as the jewel in the College’s crown, our recently renovated Arts and Crafts Chapel is a beautiful and tranquil space at the heart of the Harris Manchester community. Its magnificent windows, designed by Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris, provide a striking connection to the College’s rich history and heritage.

As the College’s largest community space, the Chapel provides an inspiring setting for both sacred and social occasions, from weddings and blessings to music and arts events, lectures, meetings, religious services and College ceremonies. It can accommodate approximately 140 guests.

The Chapel is a special place for everyone, reflecting the College’s longstanding commitment to freedom of thought and belief and the warm welcome we extend to people of all faiths, genders and ages. Regular services in the Unitarian and liberal religious tradition are held on Sunday mornings, with all visitors welcome to attend.

Available to book for weddings and other special occasions, the Chapel offers a beautiful, historic and deeply memorable setting in which to gather, celebrate and reflect.
