We welcome visits from schools, organisations and individuals. Individuals and community groups please email us at info@shrewsburymuslimcentre.org. Schools please refer to the Visiting page for details.
School Visits:
We welcome school visits, which should be booked by contacting us through the SMC email address. We are a small Prayer Centre, hence short visits which we run as a workshop are of most benefit.
General Rules
All visitors are requested to:
- Respect the peace and prayer of worshippers inside the Prayer Centre.
- Remove their shoes on entering the Prayer Centre.
- Keep food and drinks out of the Prayer Centre, except areas that have been designated as eating areas..
- Abide by the general rules of the Prayer Centre as displayed around the building.
Please note that we may discontinue any visit, if find any disrespectful or inappropriate behaviour and ask visitors to leave the building.
Modest Dress
- Children and adults are requested to observe modest dress when visiting the Prayer Centre. Most aspects of a standard school uniform are quite appropriate as long as arms and legs are covered.
- Female visitors may cover their heads to show respect to other worshippers or to enrich their own experience.
- Young children under the age of 12 are not considered to be adults and may dress as they do in school unless they wish to adopt any part of Muslim attire for the day (hats/scarves) to enliven their visit.
Children must be accompanied by an appropriate number of trained school staff, who will take responsibility for the behaviour of the students.
