Educational Visits

Today’s world is very multi ethnic / cultural and religious education forms a major part of the curriculum. Therefore we feel it is very important to make sure that we are all aware of the various aspects of all different religions for us to progress and prosper best in today's society.

At Central Gurdwara (Sikh Temple) Manchester, we like to help by providing educational / school visits to the Gurdwara. This can consist of an individual class group or as a whole year group at a time.

You can visit the Gurdwara by appointment. These visits are usually held on Wednesdays and start at 10.30am and finish by 1.30pm. Please consult the Calendar below for available Wednesday's and then email me as per below with the necessary information.


We aim to provide the following to help along side the current curriculum.

  • A brief introduction into the history of Sikhism and our Gurus.
  • An understanding of the Sikh Beliefs.
  • An overview of Sikh customs and religious symbols.
  • An outline of the major Sikh Festivals.
  • We can also additionally show you how a Sikh ties his turban.
  • Lastly a question and answer session if required.


After this we take you on a tour of the Gurdwara and then we would all sit down for Langar (free communal vegetarian meal) and informal chatter.

We welcome a donation towards the temple at a rate of £1.50 per visitor (under 50 visitors) or £1 per visitor (over 50 visitors). If you feel that you would like an educational visit but the school cannot afford the donation, please do contact me to discuss.

You would need to do is arrange for your transport to and from the Gurdwara.


If you wish to organise a visit, please do not hesitate to contact myself (Pritpal Singh Makan) on info@centralgurdwara.org or 07872 593744. The preferred method of contact would be email as it is much more efficient.


In your email, Please let us know your preferred date and also supply the following information

  • Full Name and Address of School
  • Year Group
  • Number of Pupils
  • Number of Adults


We look forward to helping you make the best use of the educational resources available in our multi ethnic/cultural world and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.


Hope to see you soon!
