World Zoroastrian House​

The World Zoroastrian House (WZH) is a lasting gift to the global Zoroastrian community. The WZH opened its doors on 17th March 2017 when over 200 members and guests came to admire and enjoy the facilities.

Community Hall

The ground floor has a communal hall which is geared up for use for WZO’s seminars/lectures and social functions. It is available to rent to other groups for their own events thereby generating an income for WZO. There is a bar/reception area and the communal hall has full audio-visual facilities. The capacity of the hall is 120 for social events and 170 theatre style.

In addition, the facilities of the hall and the meeting rooms are available for hire for private functions and events for all communities when not used by WZO.

You can help today’s and future generations by considering having your event at WZH.  The facilities are excellent and WZO’s friendly staff will assist you to make your event special.  Please click here for the brochure on hiring the facilities.

Setayash Gah - Worship Room

Car Park

Also available is a small car park (22 spaces) with an adjoining public car park. A rear garden with benches and plants for outdoor events.

Future Financial Sustainability

WZO does not wish the centre to be a burden to the next generation and so with this in mind, the second floor has been leased thereby covering some of the running costs of the property and also to enable WZO to carry our charitable activities.

The second floor is open plan and is leased to another organisation.  This income will be used to offset some of the costs of maintaining WZH and will support the work of WZO’s charitable activities.

You can also assist by donating sukhar, loban and other special items to WZO or by donating to WZO’s General fund.
