    Truly enjoyed our visit!! Very welcoming staff. Beautiful stories in the museum and beautiful synagogue to visit. I particularly liked to see the museum is alive, with events for adults and children and music! We also really enjoyed to eat a kosher l'Pessach menu at the cafe. Really happy to have visited! They were welcoming with our toddler too :)

    Amazing experience with many stories about the Manchester Jews. It is a museum built adjacent to a Sephardic Jewish Synagogue, which has one of the most unique synagogue designs. The museum side has a large collection, which details many things on the evolution of Manchester Jewry. Fascinating and some sad stories! Also, has a very nice cafe at the entrance. I had a nice pomegranate/cranberry drink.
