Iftar is the first meal after fasting. Muslims eat after the Maghrib prayer, which happens at sunset each day.
Open Iftar welcomes and brings together diverse communities. People share food and the Ramadan experience.
This is Ramadan Tent Project’s main event. They plan events at many places, including Manchester Cathedral and Shakespeare’s Globe this year.
King’s College Cambridge, Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge, and even Windsor Castle will also host events. King Charles made a video for attendees.
Students started this charity in 2013. They invited international students to break fasts together, and over one million people have gathered in the UK.
The Asian Media Awards named it Best Live Event in 2023. The charity runs other schemes, including a Ramadan run club, and they also promote fasting one day.
