There are over 100 Prayer Rooms and Mosques in Manchester, including Oldham, Salford and Ashton. However, searching for ‘Mosque’ on Google maps might not show them all.
Because, some of them are prayer spaces hidden within other venues.
For example, did you know that there is a prayer room inside the Emirates Stadium and the Old Trafford Shopping centre? Finding these can be tricky.
So, I created a map of every prayer room and Mosque in Manchester.
Furthermore, the map includes prayer rooms inside Universities, Hospitals and Shopping Centres.
But, are they open to women?
For each Mosque, I have specified whether it is open to women/sisters or if it is for men/brothers only.
Let’s get to the map.
