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 can accommodate groups of up to 20 per hour (subject to availability) for £5 per person, payment in advance. Please email tickets@manchesterjewishmuseum.com to arrange your booking. We can take bookings up to 6 weeks in advance of your visit.

We don’t currently offer catering and guided tours for group bookings, but we will be launching a new Groups package in 2022 which will include food and a guided tour to make the most 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.

Getting Here

We are located on Cheetham Hill Road, one of Manchester’s most diverse areas and just 15 minutes’ walk from Manchester’s Victoria station and 30 minutes walk from Manchester City Centre.

Visit our Getting Here page for information on getting here by foot, public transport or car.

Our Café

Our new café serves a contemporary vegetarian kosher-style menu using local produce and authentic Jewish and vegetarian ingredients. Our menu is designed to be a discovery of traditional meets innovative, providing a flavour of Jewish heritage

Our café is an invitation to our visitors to take a moment to gather round a table, reflect on their visit and to connect with one another.

The café is open from 10am – 4pm daily, serving hot food from 11.30am – 2.30pm. The café will be open later when the museum hosts late events including its Thursday Lates programme later this year. We are unable to offer advance reservations for the café.

Learning Kitchen

Our new Learning Kitchen opens in July 2021. A space for school groups, community groups and local businesses to bake, cook, eat and share traditional recipes.
