Summer Social Event - Jewish Museum
In-person visit, restricted numbers.
This summer we are visiting the Jewish Museum on Cheetham Hill, meeting there for 2.30pm. Full details will be sent to ticket holders before the event.
To quote from the Museum's website at https://www.manchesterjewishmuseum.com:
"Following a £6 million redevelopment our new museum includes a new gallery, café, shop and learning studio & kitchen as well as complete restoration of our stunning Spanish and Portuguese synagogue."
Sadly the café will not be open on the day of our visit but we will have a guided tour of all that the synagogue, now twice the size of the original establishment, has to offer.
We intend to meet at the Manchester Central Library, as usual, and these arrangements will be announced later.
- Date: 2 July 2022
- Saturday, 2.30pm (but expect to meet at the Library at about 1.30pm)
- Venue: Manchester Jewish Museum, Cheetham Hill
- Speaker: guided tour
- Booking: Eventbrite Booking
- Cost: members - free of charge

OUR PLANNED MEETINGS FOR 2021
Our Anglo Scots branch meetings for early 2022 will be held online via Zoom but, as venues reopen, we are planning different styles of meetings including being back at Manchester Central Library. Please check the meeting details on this page and on Eventbrite when booking in case things changes again, as many of our speakers are now able to switch between physical and online meetings if necessary.
Scroll down to see details of our planned meetings or go to where we meet for our physical in-person meetings.
Where we meet
Our Meeting Rooms
Light and airy, purpose built for meetings and events, and ample room to spread out the seating to comply with any restrictions that might be in place when meetings resume. All meeting rooms at Manchester Central Library are easily accessible.
Our Venue
The recently refurbished Manchester Central Library is our usual venue for our monthly meetings. Situated in the cultural heart of Manchester, the Metrolink station is at the front of the building and is the central part of a public transport system supporting the city and its outlying districts.
Important things to know
Meetings
In normal times the Anglo Scots hold meetings every month except August and December, usually on the 3rd Saturday of the month. Other local events and the availability of speakers may cause a change of date.
Covid-19
Meetings will be at Manchester Central Library and will, of course, be in line with any government guidelines that might be in force at the time. It remains possible that our calendar of events might be rescheduled.
Booking
Booking on Eventbrite is essential for meetings with invited speakers. Please follow us here, on Eventbrite and on social media to confirm dates and, for most meetings, check when booking opens on Eventbrite.
Meetings Archive
All of the Society meetings since November 2020, when meetings recommenced online. Where available, speakers notes are kept by each section. The list includes upcoming meetings and therefore provides a good overview of our meetings programme.
