We are open.

We are open seven days a week and tickets for general admission are on sale now for timed entries and can be booked up to 4 weeks in advance. Pre-booking is recommended as it helps us manage the capacity, however, for small groups you can also book your tickets on the day at the welcome desk.

Our museum can be busy on weekdays when we often have schools visiting. If you would like a more peaceful visit we would recommend visiting at weekends or after 2.30pm.

We look forward to welcoming you to our new museum.

Visitor FAQs

Gift Aid logo

What is Gift Aid and how can I help?

If you’re a UK taxpayer then you can offer Gift Aid on your admission ticket. This means Manchester Jewish Museum receives an additional 25p for every £1 you spend on admissions and donations, at no extra cost to you. In return your admission ticket acts as a year’s annual pass so you can visit the museum again for free within a year.

Gift Aid makes a huge difference to charities like ours and means we can continue our work sharing stories of Jewish Manchester with the world and celebrating the things that make us different, and the things which bring us together.

Group Bookings

We are excited to launch a range of group experiences at Manchester Jewish Museum, from self-guided visits to interactive food-based experiences. These packages are still being developed and tested, so your visit will help us to shape and grow our group experiences.

We can take bookings up to 5 weeks in advance of your visit.

Our museum café is open to all visitors, though as it is a small café, seating availability can be limited and we may struggle to seat and serve hot food to large groups. We are unable to offer advance café reservations for group bookings.

SECURITY & COVID-19

What we’re doing to keep you safe

It is our utmost priority to keep you and our staff and volunteers safe. In England, face coverings are no longer required by law.
However, the government suggests that you continue to wear a face covering in crowded and enclosed spaces where you may come into contact with other people you do not normally meet. If you prefer to wear a mask, please feel free to do so.

We are asking all visitors to book a timed entry slot ticket in advance, so we can manage the number of people in the museum and maintain social distancing to ensure all of our visitors can have a safe and enjoyable experience.

What security is in place?

We have an on-site security guard and follow recommended security guidance from GMP (Greater Manchester Police) & CST (Community Security Trust). We have a bag search policy and all large bags (rucksacks, suitcases etc.) will be searched. We are unable to store bags and we would advise not bringing large bags with you when you visit.
