Join us to celebrate Eid-al-Adha with Eid at Eastbury, on Sunday 2 July at Eastbury Manor House from 11am to 4pm.
Eid-al-Adha, also known as the "Festival of Sacrifice," holds a deep cultural and religious significance for Muslims worldwide and brings together all members of the community. The occasion is a time of reflection, gratitude, and community bonding.
Working in partnership with Al Madina Mosque, the family fun day lets residents immerse themselves in a range of performances, exhibitions, and workshops - from drumming workshops to henna and face painting. You can also indulge in a tantalising selection of culinary delights, including traditional dishes and international flavours, at a number of diverse food stalls.
