For schools
School visits
A guided tour, a workshop, Langar and time for questions. About two hours, for groups of 30 to 50.
We welcome schools to the Gurdwara for a visit that brings religious education to life: a tour, a workshop, a shared meal in the Langar Hall and time for questions. Visits are led by our own guides and tailored to the age of the pupils.
What a visit includes

Our guides lead you through the Gurdwara and explain each part of it and its significance.
Religious education workshop
An interactive session covering key aspects of the Sikh faith, tailored to the age group.
Langar
Pupils share a simple vegetarian meal in the Langar Hall, as everyone who visits a Gurdwara does.
Questions and answers
Time for pupils to ask about Sikh practice, history and daily life.
