FAQ

Do I need to wear a face covering?

It is not mandatory to wear a face-covering when visiting our mosque. However, we do strongly recommend it.

What are my transport options for getting to and from the mosque?

The mosque has underground parking for cars and motorbikes (76 spaces), accessed via the ramp on Mill Road. There are disabled parking spaces and an electric charging point.

However, where possible we encourage our visitors to arrive by bus, bike, or on foot to reduce their carbon footprint.  The bus stop is directly outside the mosque and bike racks are provided in the front and rear gardens and in the car park.

What about the dress code?

Out of respect for our place of worship, adult visitors are requested to observe modest dress that covers their arms and legs. Women will be asked to cover their heads before entering the prayer hall, so please bring a scarf with you.

All visitors will be asked to remove their shoes at the entrance.

Can I bring my children?

Children of all ages are welcome. However, we do ask that they be supervised at all times.

I’m in a wheelchair – will I be able to join the tour?

The tour is wheelchair-accessible and there is a lift from the car park.  Please let us know in advance if you require special assistance.

Can I bring my dog?

Unfortunately, we do not allow pets to join tour groups.

Can I bring a group?  

We offer allocated slots during the week for Organisational Tours, although availability is limited at the moment. We are training further volunteer guides and hope to offer more tour slots in the not too distant future.
