Eid is all about celebration, community, and of course—good vibes. And if you’re in London, there’s one place you need to be this year: 1Eid at Goodmayes Park.
I’m talking Eid prayers in the open air, a massive funfair, live performances, a petting zoo (yes, actual animals!), and an epic fireworks finale to top it all off. Sounds like a plan, right? Let me break it down for you.
Start the Day with Eid Prayers
Imagine thousands of people, all gathered in one place, dressed in their finest, ready to pray together. It’s a vibe like no other.
When? March 30-31 (depending on moon sighting)
Where? Goodmayes Park, East London
Prayer starts at 10 AM (Gates open at 9 AM!)
Bring: Your prayer mat & wudhu done beforehand
There’s something special about praying under the open sky with your whole community—it just hits differently.
Festival Time – Fun for Everyone!
Eid isn’t just about the food . At 1Eid, there’s SO much happening, you won’t know where to start.
Petting Zoo – Goats, bunnies, and fluffy friends for the little ones (or animal lovers like me).
Axe-Throwing & Sword Skills – Channel your inner warrior.
Circus & Fire Show – Expect mind-blowing performances.
Boxing – Because why not?
Qur’an Competition – Beautiful recitations to appreciate.
Eid Bazaar – Clothes, perfumes, gifts—basically, shopping heaven.

It’s family-friendly, fun-packed, and totally unmissable.
