Ramadan & Eid
When is Eid ul-Fitr in the UK?
Updated 2026-07-28
Quick Answer
Eid ul-Fitr falls on 1 Shawwal, the day after Ramadan ends, confirmed by moon sighting. Expected Gregorian dates are listed on our events and Ramadan pages — always confirm with your local mosque, as UK communities may differ by a day.
In detail
Eid prayer is held in the morning after sunrise; mosques publish multiple congregation times.
Zakat al-Fitr (Fitrana) should be paid before the Eid prayer wherever possible.
