What to expect
Once a year we open every door in the building, from the minbar to the kitchen, and invite our neighbours in. Volunteers lead short tours every half hour, the imams answer questions in the courtyard, and there is tea and cake all afternoon.
You do not need to know anything about Islam to come along, and there is no dress code beyond covering arms and legs. Scarves are by the door for anyone who would like one.
