About venue
Stoke Minster (St Peter ad Vincula) is a historic landmark at the heart of Stoke-on-Trent, with origins dating back over a thousand years. The present Gothic Revival building, consecrated in 1830, is rich in local heritage, featuring beautiful stained glass, ceramic memorials to the city’s famous potters, and a dignified, light-filled interior.
Renowned for its warm, resonant acoustics, the Minster provides an inspiring setting for concerts and cultural events. Its spacious nave and timeless architecture create an atmosphere that is both intimate and grand — a place where music resonates with history, meaning, and quiet majesty.
