Grand Iftar at Bristol Cathedral

Bristol Cathedral is pleased to partner with Muslims4Bristol and Bridges for Communities to host the Grand Iftar, a special interfaith community event. Now in its third year, this event welcomes people of all faiths and backgrounds to come together to celebrate Belonging and Togetherness. The Grand Iftar is an opportunity to share stories, build friendships, and learn from one another in a welcoming environment.

What is Iftar?
Iftar is the meal that Muslims eat to break their fast at sunset during Ramadan. While Iftar holds a religious significance, this event is a community gathering not a religious service. It provides a chance for attendees to reflect, connect, and share across cultures and traditions.

Iftar prayers will take place outside the Cathedral in an adjacent facility.

Doors open at 5.00pm

The event is free, fully accessible and open to everyone. Due to restrictions in numbers, people must register for the event (maximum 6 tickets per person if booking through general admission), and tickets must be shown at the entrance to the event upon arrival.
