We’ll show you the mosque
Seeing a mosque from the inside answers many questions faster than any textbook. We give tours of our building to school classes, nurseries, church groups, associations, trainees, public bodies and anyone who is interested. We always take time for your questions.
Groups & organisations
For church groups, associations, neighbourhood groups, the police, local government, politicians and trainees. It can also be a conversation with the board or one of our imams. This is free of charge too.
Topics
- What is a mosque?
- The five pillars of Islam

For teachers
- Please get in touch two to three weeks in advance.
- Clothes that cover shoulders and knees. A headscarf is not needed.
- Shoes come off before entering the prayer hall, so clean socks are a good idea.
- Feel free to collect the class’s questions beforehand and send them to us.
- Photos are fine if you check with us first, even during prayer. Please only photograph people with their consent.
- If anyone in your group uses a wheelchair or has other needs, please tell us when you get in touch.
