The day of Eid might have passed us, yet London is not ready to stop celebrating. With two massive upcoming Eid celebrations due to take place in the capital this weekend, it’s worth thinking about making your way down to the capital to join the crowds and sample some awesome street food!
With free admission, a huge crowd, live cooking demos, henna makeovers and live performances, how could you say no to such an opportunity?
If you’re planning on joining the fun this weekend, look no further as we provide you with all the information you need for these upcoming events.
Yes! This is Europe’s biggest Eid celebration and it takes place in the oft-visited Westfield Shopping Centre.
Returning from Saturday 29th April to Monday 1st May 2023, this will be the fourth year such an event will be taking place and will serve as a chance to come together to rejoice. The best part about having events in a place like this is that it gives Muslims and non-Muslims a chance to come together and experience an often neglected part of Islam.
What’s more, with the setting being one of the world’s largest shopping and leisure destinations, it will allow many to witness the diversity of Islam and Muslims.
Also taking place on Saturday 29th April in the iconic Trafalgar Square, this event is completely free and will take place from 12 PM – 6 PM.
What makes this year different is its theme. Developed in partnership with the Eid Community Advisory Group and London-based arts, culture and grassroots Muslim organisations, the theme for this year’s festival supports the Mayor’s #LondonForEveryone campaign. This means that visitors will see a lot of focus on all the good stuff such as education, family, innovation and uniting between friends and families to enjoy such a momentous occasion.
The full programme for the event can be found online.
This will be the first women’s only Eid celebration which will be taking place on April 30 in Beckenham. Organised by Dunia Deen Events, the celebration will feature refreshments and an authentic Eid dinner.
