A Grade II* listed 1874 (former) Spanish and Portuguese synagogue

This beautifully restored synagogue serves as both a major museum exhibit, offering visitors an insight into a Sephardi Jewish history dating back to the 1870s, and also as a unique performance space.

Following a £6m redevelopment and extension our new museum includes a new gallery, vegetarian café, shop and learning studio & kitchen as well as complete restoration of our synagogue.

Award-winning vegetarian kosher-style Cafe!
