Do you love to write? Or have an interest in exploring music? It doesn’t matter if you’ve never written songs before, we are an open group for anyone of any ability!

Our Song-writing Group meet monthly to work with amazing composers, singers, writers and musicians to create new music and poems inspired by the stories in our collection and your own experiences.

In this session we will be rehearsing and creating a showcase of the Songwriting Group for Cheetham Cultural Festival! It’s a great opportunity to get a flavour of the songs we create and the beautiful stories that the group share.

Don’t worry if your new to the group, our doors are always open for new members – it’s a supportive space to try something new!

Join us this month as we make our own candles! Using a soy wax base, we will experiment with different essential oils to customise the scent of your candle, as well as creating a beautiful personalised label. We will look at the symbolism of candles in Judaism, as well as some examples of candles from our collection to inspire our creations.
