In 2021, Eid at the Castle will be the first opportunity for communities to come together to celebrate Eid safely and in unity, an occasion missed by all due to the pandemic. It will provide an opportunity for up to 500 people of all backgrounds to join family, friends and colleagues in experiencing the festival of Eid. This is a unique opportunity given the circumstances and is supported by the Welsh Government.

 

The celebrations will take place on the 13th of May 2021 in the heart of Cardiff at Cardiff Castle. We will begin the celebrations with Eid prayer under the open skies, merging later into a safe, family friendly ‘bring your own picnic’. 

 

This is the first legal event of this scale that has taken place in Wales since March 2020 and you are really making history by attending. By participating, it will insha’Allah be a stepping stone for future prayers and events for the wider community.
