Mosques Visit Information

We warmly welcome you to Lincoln Central Mosque and Cultural Centre. Whether you are a school, local college, or local community group you can be guaranteed a warm and friendly welcome at our mosque.

A mosque visit is a valuable opportunity to learn about Islam, explore the mosque as a place of worship, and to ask any questions you may have. Visits are held Monday to Thursday beginning at 10am and usually last 60-90 minutes per session.

During the visit, guests will have the opportunity to:

  • Learn about the basic beliefs and practices of Islam
  • Explore the mosque building and its key features
  • Observe or learn about Muslim prayer
  • Ask questions in a friendly and welcoming environment

Visits can be tailored to suit different age groups and educational needs. We can only accommodate 40 visitors per visit in total for health and safety reasons.

Please note that there are certain times of the year where visits will be unavailable due to other activities taking place in the mosque.
