St Thomas Centre is a renovated Grade 2 listed Georgian church - the third oldest church in Manchester. It is located on what is affectionately dubbed ‘voluntary sector row’ in the Ardwick area of Manchester, due to the number of voluntary sector organisations based on the same street.
The church has been fully refurbished and has all the facilities you would expect from a high quality conference and meeting venue without losing the charm and beauty of its heritage.
The building is home to Greater Manchester Centre for Voluntary Organisation (GMCVO) who manage the ground floor conference centre as a subsidiary enterprise of the parent charity. GMCVO has over 40 years’ experience of working with the voluntary sector in the local area, and has established the Centre as a hub for voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise organisations.
St Thomas Centre is set within an attractive and peaceful area facing Ardwick Green Park, at the same time being within easy reach of Manchester city centre and Piccadilly station and major road networks. For visitors opting to come by car, we have access to a nearby car park offering competitively priced all-day parking (find out more in our visitor information guide).
