Somewhere to be, not just somewhere to sit a class.

Most of what keeps a person studying is who they were sitting next to. So we took a room, not a booking.

What's on

Coming up at the centre

What's in it

Two rooms in one

Classrooms during teaching. A lounge the rest of the time. A movable partition rather than a fixed wall, so the space follows what's actually happening that evening.

Prayer space

On site, and open whenever the centre is.

Flexible classrooms

A movable partition, not a fixed divide. One long room or two teaching spaces.

Lounge seating

Seats twenty-five and more, arranged so people face each other rather than a screen.

Tea and coffee

Free, and always on. Nobody gets handed a coffee on the way out the door here, you stay as long as you want to.

Games

Games night is on the calendar from the start. What sits in the lounge the rest of the week gets added in stage two.

Study space

Somewhere to actually read between class and Maghrib.

There are no set opening hours yet, so message us before you drop in.

Planned

What we want to run besides class

Community nights we would like to run. None has a date or a price yet.

Games NightIslamic trivia, Seerah Jeopardy, fiqh scenarios, team puzzles, food and real prizes. Entry depends on the night, and each one is announced on Instagram.

The Long TableFifty people, one dinner table, conversation cards down the middle.

Tea After ʿIshā'Monthly. Thirty to forty-five minutes, one conversation worth having.

Ask Me AnythingAnonymous questions, no prepared lecture.

The Men's TableTwelve to fifteen people, one hard topic, dinner. A sisters' equivalent runs in parallel.

Football & basketball nightsSport, food, salah and a ten-minute reminder. Not a lecture with a ball.

Beach Fajr & hikesOff site. Fajr, sunrise, a walk and breakfast. Open to everyone.

Sunday Morning CircleWeekly. Breakfast and a forty-five minute lesson, done by mid-morning.

One Ayah, One NightMonthly. Ninety minutes on a single verse, from every angle.

The Last Ten NightsRamadan. The centre open late, with a session worth staying for.

Father & son dayOff site. Something to do together that is not a lecture with a bat in it.

Study hallThe lounge set up for reading and homework between class and Maghrib, with someone there to ask.
