Short answer: Manchester Airport’s own Faith and Worship page lists four multi-faith prayer rooms that “remain open to everyone 24 hours a day”: two in Terminal 2 (one landside, one after security) and two landside in Terminal 3. The page says there are “currently no prayer facilities after security in Terminal 3” and lists no prayer room for Terminal 1. Washing facilities, prayer mats and a Qibla sign are mentioned. We found no airport or outlet page that calls a Manchester Airport restaurant halal, so halal food is marked Not checked yet.
