St Mary's internal dimensions are
215 feet (66 m) from west to east
100 feet (30 m) from north to south (across the transepts)
while the tower stands 126 feet (38 m) above ground level.

The church has a wide ministry to many different groups.
It is the Civic Church to the City of Nottingham.
In the past, the election of the town mayor took place in the church and this tradition continues with a welcome to the new Lord Mayor of Nottingham in a service held each summer.

It is the University Church for the University of Nottingham and several schools and organisations hold annual services here.

In recent years, in addition to its function as a place of worship, St Mary's is the venue for a wide range of concerts and public performances, and is home to the Nottingham Bach Choir.

The assistant curate at St Mary's takes the ancient title 'Lecturer'.
This title, fell into disuse in the 17th century, was revived for Rev. John Pennington on his appointment in 1975.
The last to hold the post was by Rev. Stephen Morris, until 2014.

The church retains the Book of Common Prayer, the traditional Liturgical colours and the principal services are sung by a robed choir.

St Mary's retains the historic practice of celebrating the Eucharist at a High Altar Ad orientem with priest and people facing eastwards, rather than the contemporary practice of Versus populum having the priest facing the congregation.
