Birmingham Central Mosque Visit

This event is being run as part of Heritage Week and as such is a public event. Although this is a 'drop in' session we will meet as a group and enter the Mosque together.

Birmingham Central Mosque is the second purpose-built mosque in the United Kingdom, which was built in 1969 and opened to the public in 1975. It is one of the most recognised religious buildings in the city of Birmingham and a result, a vast number of people visit the mosque every year.

The drop-in session to the mosque consists of the following:

• A guided tour of the mosque building accompanied by a faith guide.

• Multi-media presentation about Islamic faith.

• Q&A and discussion session.

• Observation of one of the daily or special prayer services.

Visitors will be provided with snacks or treats during the visit.

All visitors are requested to:

• Respect the peace and prayer of worshippers inside the mosque.

• Remove their shoes in certain specific areas around the mosque.

• Keep food and drinks out of the mosque, except areas that have been designated as eating areas.

• Avoid bringing any animals into the mosque.

• Keep the mosque’s building and courtyard clean by disposing off litter properly and safely.

• Abide by the general rules of the mosque as displayed around the building.

• Avoid smoking in the building and on the mosque’s courtyard
