ShabbatUK will take place this year on October 23 and 24, the Chief Rabbi's Office has announced.

Synagogues, schools and communal groups will be encouraged to hold events to enhance the celebration and observance of the day of rest.

The initiative was set up in 2014 by Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis, inspired by the successful Shabbos Project in South Africa.

More than 100,000 people took part in over 600 events.
