This season, we’ve made an effort to keep our prices at the same level as they’ve been for several years. We offer concessions and opportunities to attend our events as a volunteer – just phone and ask.

From September 2013, you will find BIGGER, BETTER and more EXCITING programming available at the state-of-theart JW3 building on the Finchley Road. JW3, London’s first Jewish Community Centre, will provide a spectrum of programming that spans everything – families, arts, culture, film, education, food, drink, social action, entertainment and more…

Why JW3? Well, it conveys the new building’s character (J for Jewish) and its location (NW3), and the name will help it quickly establish itself as a landmark on the Jewish and cultural maps of London. This is your JW3 and we want you to join us on the journey. After the carpet is rolled out and the fittings screwed tight, it’s people who will breathe life into JW3. Thank you for all your support to date. We couldn’t have done it without you. We look forward to welcoming you to JW3 next year.
