To celebrate Interfaith Week, the Barking and Dagenham Faith Forum have organised a borough wide visit my place of worship week. Local places of worship will be open to visitors, allowing you the opportunity to better understand the practices of local people of faith, their traditions and history.
Below is a list of local places of worship that will be welcoming visitors to explore their spaces and find out more about the local faith communities. In some cases tours and refreshments will be offered. There is no need to register your attendance in advance, just turn up.
