Ramadan Tent Project proudly returns
with Ramadan Festival 2026
Ramadan Festival is our annual celebration of connection, learning, and shared humanity. Through a series of community events across the UK, we create spaces where people of all backgrounds can come together, experience the spirit of Ramadan, and discover the values that unite us.
In Ramadan Festival 2026, we gather under the theme of Hope — a light that unites, inspires, and leads us toward brighter days.
From the first call to prayer at Open Iftar to the final steps of Ramadan Run Club, the festival brings people together across cities, cultures, and traditions. Each moment is an opportunity to reflect, grow, and share meaningful experiences that remind us that hope lives in every meal, conversation, and act of kindness.
Thank you to everyone who joins, volunteers, and supports us. Together, we help keep the spirit of Ramadan alive and make each festival an unforgettable celebration of community, belonging, and hope.
The annual Welcome Ramadan Conference is a flagship event designed to prepare the public for the blessed month of Ramadan, creating a space for reflection, learning, and connection through meaningful discussions, spiritual insights, and inspiring voices from across the community.
On 26 January 2026, the Welcome Ramadan Conference returned to London at Soho Theatre Walthamstow, where it all began, bringing together over 500 attendees for an uplifting evening centered around the festival theme of Hope. The event featured powerful reflections, heartfelt conversations, and creative expressions led by a diverse panel of speakers and performers who helped guide hearts and minds in preparation for Ramadan 2026.
Together, the evening was a beautiful reminder of the strength of community, intention, and shared purpose.

Ramadan Run Club is Ramadan Tent Project’s movement-led activation, bringing people together through running, reflection, and connection during the holy month.
Rooted in the spirit of Ramadan, Ramadan Run Club supports holistic wellbeing – nurturing the body, mind, and soul – while creating a welcoming space for runners of all abilities and backgrounds, including people of all faiths and none.
Each run is more than movement. It’s a moment of intention, community, and shared purpose as we prepare for and journey through Ramadan together.

Experience Ramadan in the Workplace
Fast a Day is a unique initiative designed for businesses and organisations looking to create a more inclusive and meaningful workplace during the month of Ramadan.
By hosting a small Iftar gathering at your office, you’ll invite your teams, colleagues, and wider business community to join in fasting for a day… fostering empathy, reflection, and connection.
This is more than a meal! It’s a powerful opportunity to experience the spirit of Ramadan through community, conversation, and shared values.
We’ve had the honour of delivering Fast a Day events with leading organisations including Ogilvy, Springer Nature, Foxtons, and 22 Bishopsgate, and more.
As we prepare for Ramadan 2026, now is the perfect time to bring Fast a Day to your workplace.
