Children and Young People Trail Leaflet

As well as the standard self-guided trail we have also specifically developed two different self-led trails for families and schools, which we hope can you help you explore and enjoy the cemetery as a family group or with your class. The trail brings to life some of the people we have buried on site, as well as tell you a little more about the cemetery itself.
When you visit the Heritage Centre we will be able to provide the maps and pencils for you.
We have specifically designed all of our resources to be suitable for both Jewish and non-Jewish audiences, so please do feel free to use any of the self-led trails, loans boxes, on site-activities to support your learning.
Please book your free slot by emailing heritage@theus.org.uk
