Directory of 20+ North-West events happening all throughout March/Ramadan 2025!!
Dear Friends
Here are Ramadan 2025 events listed from across Greater Manchester and North West where your Muslim neighbours are opening the doors of their mosques and cultural centres for a FREE and SPECIAL dinner arranged for their local non-Muslim neighbours for an evening of delicious food, breaking barriers, building friendships, and embracing the spirit of togetherness. Iftar is the meal eaten to break the fast, immediately after sunset during Ramadan.
As Muslims fast in this month of great reflection, empathy and striving, they would love for you to join them for a meal. An Iftar meal experience with usually some enlightening entertainment, spiritual/engaging presentations and a mosque tour thrown in beforehand. There is no obligation for guests to fast but to come and enjoy the energy and experience. These are family friendly events, you are welcome to attend as many events as you wish. Registration is mandatory.
Many organisations are better experienced these days with dietary requirements and preferences for a wide range of guests including children. To be on the safe side, you may wish to mention extra details in your registration form or via the organiser email.
I hope this is a fair summary of all these amazing efforts by local communities. Many times encouraged by previous first time guests to be repeated. Feel free to share this webpage with your own introduction and please suggest any edits and do share any local similar open Iftar events happening this Ramadan to my email: activetahir@gmail.com
We encourage you to spread the word to your friends and work colleagues.
