Sacred Trinity Church was the first church in Salford. Originally built in 1635 the current building dates from 1752 and is on the junction of Chapel Street and Blackfriars Road. It is a lovely and lively community centre, with samba classes midweek. I have peeked through the doors to see some sultry, not very religious dancing going on inside. Other activities and organisations who meet here include:
Manchester Universities Guild of Changeringers ring the bells at Sacred Trinity most Sundays and practice every Tuesday during term time 7 - 8.30 pm. Beginners can practice from 6.30 pm.
Manchester School of Samba - Wednesday nights, 7.00 - 9.30 pm
Ydalir group of Vikings meet every other Tuesday at 7 pm.
Ara - A Sanctuary for Alternative people - 4th Friday of the month from 9 pm
Manchester Gay Christian Group - often on the 3rd Friday at 8 pm but check for details
STAG (Sacred Trinity Art Group) - Meet on Tuesdays from 12 noon. Open to all.
...and also Catholic services at the weekends.
"alternative people" - I wonder what that is supposed to mean - tried to follow your link but it's broken! Seems to be a lot going on there.
ReplyDeleteI assumed Travellers or anarchists or commune-dwellers. But I think it's just goths and emos- hardly that alternatve really? Have changed the link to ArA above to their FB page https://www.facebook.com/ArA.Nights.

ReplyDeleteSamba dancing, it's come a long way since 1635.
ReplyDeleteWow that's a pretty busy place accomodating different groups and activities. Interesting! I also git curious about "alternative people".
ReplyDeleteThis church must be in England. Am I right?
ReplyDeleteVikings? That's quite unusual!
