Thousands attend Europe's biggest Eid celebration in Birmingham
Thousands attended Europe’s largest Eid al-Fitr event at Small Heath Park, featuring prayers, a funfair, and community support activities, organisers said.
- On Friday, thousands descended on Small Heath Park in Birmingham for Europe’s biggest Eid celebration, with roads packed as Muslims from across the Midlands gathered to pray.
- Eid al-Fitr, which ends Ramadan, marks reflection and unity, with a lead-up featuring free daily iftar meals and hospital support during the past 30 days.
- Organisers said Green Lane Masjid and Community Centre arranged the event, with worshippers bringing prayer mats, chairs and water, while a funfair ran until 21:00 GMT for family entertainment after prayers.
- The month of shared iftar and outreach translated into visible togetherness, as Kasim Choudhry from Edgbaston said sharing meals helped reduce the 'mystique' around Muslims and foster support for hospital patients and families.
- The event's return outdoors in March followed two rain-affected years, with last March marking the first outdoor gathering after rain-washouts in 2023 and 2024, organised by Green Lane Masjid and Community Centre.
