About this Event
The Sutton Magistrate Courthouse was a landmark building, nestled between the Sutton Coldfield Police Station and the Fire Station on either side. The Courthouse was purchased by Sutton Coldfield Muslim Association and converted into a Masjid in June 2012.
This is an opportunity to join a tour of the Masjid to learn about the history of this former magistrates’ court as well as the Masjid.
Tours will be led on the hour by members of the Masjid community, and althought tickets are free, booking is recommended. Booking will open on the 3rd of August.
This event is organised by the Sutton Coldfield Muslim Association.
