Playing the Game: Sporting Life in Jewish Manchester

22 Jun 2012 to 21 Dec 2012

''Jewish people do not play sport' - this exhibition challenges this common misconception and shows that sport has been an important part of Manchester Jewish life since the 1890s.

'Playing the Game' celebrates the sporting achievements of Jewish people and explores the impact of sport on Manchester's Jewish community. From the table tennis tables of Manchester Jewish Lads Brigade to the courts of Wimbledon and running tracks of The Maccabiah Games this exhibition demonstrates the rich and diverse history of sporting life in Jewish Manchester.

Opening Times:
Sunday to Thursday 10am - 4pm
Friday 10am - 1pm
