For the 12th year running, join Open Iftar in breaking your fast with the community. 

Ramadan Tent Project’s annual Open Iftar returns to the UK from Fridays to Sundays during Ramadan.

Venues for the project will be bigger and better this year, allowing Open Iftar to welcome even larger groups than before. Starting in Windsor Castle and ending in Trafalgar Square in London, locations will also include grand venues such as the V&A Museum, Shakespeare’s Globe and King’s College in Cambridge.

Open Iftar, a key aspect of the Ramadan Tent Project, is the UK’s largest community event during Ramadan. It was founded in 2013 by then SOAS Masters student Omar Salha, now growing into a nationally renowned event. Bringing together over one million people across the country, the project hosts them in some of the UK’s most respected and esteemed cultural institutions. 

Ramadan Tent Project is a charity whose mission is to bring communities together through cultivating understanding, solidarity and compassion. Their events are built around Islam and the spirit of Ramadan, but are always open to all people to foster a mutual love and respect for one another. 

Their Ramadan Festival is the largest of its kind worldwide, and is a celebration of all things art, culture and creativity that aims to unite all communities. Through a variety of activities and events, the charity hopes that guests will leave having learnt something new, made friends and felt a larger sense of community in their respective cities. 

Salha said: “We are excited to welcome people of all faiths and none, with a focus on this year’s Ramadan Festival 2025 theme of ‘Connection’ which seeks to connect more hearts and minds, weaving a tapestry of belonging and connection towards a more harmonious society. We look forward to welcoming thousands of visitors, from all backgrounds across our Open Iftar events and throughout our Ramadan Festival 2025 programmes across London and the UK.”

Tickets will be free with an optional donation, and will be released weekly so stay alert and turn on your notifications to book them in time.
