Manchester’s Biggest Sound Bath – 27th May at The Monastery, Manchester - 7PM


After a run of sold out sessions at Manchester Cathedral, Life Is Sound is bringing the experience to The Monastery, Manchester for the very first time.

Our sell out events have guided thousands of people into deep relaxation and real inner reset. Now, we are stepping into one of Manchester’s most breathtaking historic spaces, chosen for one reason: when a venue holds the right stillness and acoustics, the sound does not just fill the room, it reaches you.

This is more than a sound bath. It is a full immersive experience in a setting that has stood for generations as a place of reflection, peace, and renewal.

Beneath the soaring arches and sacred atmosphere of The Monastery, Manchester, you will be carried through waves of sound from crystal bowls, handpans, and deeply restorative instruments, designed to soften the body, slow the breath, and quiet the mind.



GROUP TICKETS: Discounted price when you book a minimum of 4 tickets



A Night of Deep Immersion and Stillness

The acoustics of The Monastery, Manchester are incredible, allowing sound to travel, bloom, and surround you from every direction. As the frequencies move through the space, they guide you into a grounded calm, deep meditation, and genuine inner renewal.

This is your invitation to step away from the noise of the outside world, to disconnect, reset, and realign in one of Manchester’s most special spaces.

About The Monastery, Manchester


The Monastery, Manchester is one of the city’s most striking and atmospheric spaces, created as a place of reflection, gathering, and quiet reverence. Its presence feels timeless, holding a kind of stillness you notice the moment you walk in, the kind of space that naturally invites you to slow down and arrive.

The architecture, with its soaring arches and stonework, is not only visually powerful but built for resonance. The vast interior creates an immersive acoustic experience where sound can linger, expand, and move through the space with depth. It is the kind of natural amplification that makes deep listening effortless, allowing each note to travel, settle, and soften something within.

Now, for one night only, this historic venue becomes the home of Life Is Sound Relaxation Society, offering a sanctuary where sound and stillness meet.
