FREE! Just come along!
Join Manchester Jewish Museum alongside other community organisations from Cheetham Hill and Crumpsall at the Irish World Heritage Centre for the North Manchester ‘Diverse-city Festival’, as we celebrate what makes our local area special!
Expect live music and dance performances, tasty food from different Cheetham & Crumpsall communities and an amazing mix of creative workshops. Everything is free to attend and no booking required!
Visit Manchester Jewish Museum’s stall during the festival day to:
- Try MJM Café’s delicious vegan bourekas, inspired by the story of Annie Conway. Annie converted to Judaism when she married Harry Cohen in 1936. The Cohens later changed name to anglicised ‘Conway’ and Annie soon became a prominent member of the Portuguese and Spanish Sephardi synagogue in Cheetham Hill – now the Manchester Jewish Museum. She dedicated herself to the synagogue and the community, embroidering cushions and upholstering furniture as well as cooking traditional Jewish dishes including the bespoke Sephardi bourekas. Come give them a try!

- Listen to some beautiful songs written and performed by members of our Song-writing Group!
