A beautiful, enigmatic, and important memorial to those who were killed and injured in the terrorist bombing in the nearby Manchester Arena in 2017. It's designed as an open city space, with a ring of marble memorial stones and paths and planting amongst them. A place to come and remember, a place to come and reflect, or a place to come for a simple few moments of peace in the bustle of the busy city. Open 24 hours, adjacent to the cathedral, all on one level and easily accessible for all.

Beautiful memorial to the 22 innocent victims murdered by an islamist terrorist bomb on the 22nd May 2017 at the Manchester Arena. Also remembering the many others injured or affected. A white marble halo with the names of those who lost their lives each engraved on an individual slab. Peaceful setting between Chethams and the Cathedral to rest, pray, remember and mourn.

Beautiful place in memory of the young people who sadly lost their lives much too soon at the Arianna Grande concert terror attack 😢

It is a fitting memorial to the victims of a terrorist bomber in the city centre in 2017. The memorial itself features fllat marble stones, each bearing the name of one of the victims, in a circle. Around them plants and shrubs have been planted, and a few benches for people to sit and reflect, or just relax. It should be a peaceful haven. Unfortunately, some visitors show no respect whatsoever to the memorial and to those who tragically lost their lives. I've seen people lounging on the memorial stones, or eating something. On one occasion I saw a child watched by his father, running along the stones. When I remonstrated with him, he said his son was counting them! However, mostly it is a...
