A visit to the historic and atmospheric surroundings of Willesden Jewish Cemetery allows students to explore the Jewish religion and local history through hands-on learning. We offer a unique opportunity to cultivate curiosity about other cultures and religions.

All our sessions are designed to support curriculum learning, to develop students’ enquiry skills and build on written and verbal literacy.

We also offer a limited number of free outreach sessions for schools, where your students can get a taste of the cemetery through a hand-on workshop in school.

In addition to exploring the Jewish religion and local history, the expansive grounds of Willesden Jewish Cemetery provide a serene space for visitors of all ages to connect with nature. Younger kids can engage in hands-on planting activities, fostering a deeper appreciation for the environment. Our commitment to education extends beyond cultural exploration, offering a unique opportunity for students to learn and grow amidst the historic and atmospheric surroundings.
