Planning ahead for Eid celebrations? Here are the expected dates for Eid 2026 in the UK, though please note that exact dates depend on the sighting of the moon and may vary:

Eid al-Fitr 2026 is expected to fall around 21st March 2026 in the UK. This joyous celebration marks the end of Ramadan, the holy month of fasting, and is a time for gratitude, prayer, and coming together with loved ones. It's a day filled with special prayers, delicious feasts, gift-giving, and acts of charity. 🌙

Eid al-Adha 2026 is anticipated around 28th May 2026 in the UK. Known as the Festival of Sacrifice, this Eid commemorates Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to Allah. It coincides with the Hajj pilgrimage and is celebrated with prayers, feasting, and the distribution of meat to family, friends, and those in need. 🕌

Both Eids are wonderful opportunities to gather with family and friends, share meals, exchange gifts, and create beautiful memories. Whether you're celebrating Eid al-Fitr or Eid al-Adha, thoughtful decorations can enhance the festive atmosphere and make your celebration truly special! 🎉

How to Celebrate Eid: Hosting a Memorable Celebration 🌙💚

Eid is a time of joy, gratitude, and togetherness, and there are countless meaningful ways to celebrate this blessed occasion. Here are some ideas to make your Eid celebration unforgettable:

1. Begin with Eid Prayers: Start the day by attending Eid prayers at your local mosque or prayer ground. This communal worship is a beautiful way to mark the occasion and connect with your community.
2. Host a Family Feast: Prepare a special meal featuring traditional dishes like biryani, kebabs, samosas, and sweet treats such as baklava, sheer khurma, or ma'amoul. Set a beautiful table with themed decorations to make the meal feel extra special.
3. Exchange Gifts and Eidi: Give gifts to children and loved ones, including Eidi (money given to children during Eid). Personalised presents and thoughtful gestures make the day even more memorable.
4. Decorate Your Home: Transform your space with gold and white decorations, banners, balloons, and hanging ornaments. A beautifully decorated home creates a festive atmosphere that everyone will enjoy.
5. Give to Charity: Eid is a time for generosity. Consider giving Zakat al-Fitr (for Eid al-Fitr) or distributing meat to those in need (for Eid al-Adha) to share your blessings with others.
6. Spend Quality Time Together: Whether it's playing games, sharing stories, or simply enjoying each other's company, the most important part of Eid is being together with loved ones.

Whatever you choose to do, make it personal and filled with love. Eid is about celebrating faith, family, and community, and the best celebrations are those that bring people together! 🌙✨

Gold and white are the quintessential colours of Eid celebrations, symbolising purity, light, and festivity. Starting with this classic colour palette creates an elegant foundation for all your other decorations.

Begin by hanging gold star garlands across walls, doorways, or windows to add instant sparkle. Our 3.6m Gold Star Garland catches and reflects light beautifully, creating a magical atmosphere throughout your home.

Add dimension with large 70cm gold star decorations suspended from the ceiling, or use the smaller 30cm gold stars to create clusters at different heights. These metallic foil stars create stunning focal points and photograph beautifully.

For a cohesive look, incorporate mosque-themed paper bunting featuring gold silhouettes on white pennants. This 2.4m bunting adds a traditional touch whilst maintaining the elegant gold and white theme.

Don't forget window decorations! Our Eid Window Decorations allow you to share the joy of Eid with your neighbours and community, creating a welcoming atmosphere from the outside in.

2. Welcome Guests with Personalised Banners 💚

Nothing says "Eid Mubarak" quite like a beautiful banner greeting your guests as they arrive. Banners are versatile, impactful, and create an instant festive atmosphere.

Our Eid Mubarak Banner (120cm x 30cm) is made from high-quality 160gsm thick silk card with a beautiful white and gold printed design. Hang it above your entrance, in your living room, or as part of your dining area décor.

For a more glamorous look, try the Eid Mubarak Glitter Letter Banner, which spans 3.65m and features gold glitter letters with blue and purple stars and moons. This eye-catching banner makes a stunning statement piece.

Add some sparkle to your table with gold confetti or small decorative elements between place settings. You can also incorporate fresh flowers, dates, or traditional sweets as centrepieces to enhance the festive atmosphere.

For a truly special touch, consider adding place cards with guests' names written in gold calligraphy, or small gift bags at each setting containing sweets or small tokens of appreciation.

4. Add Height and Drama with Balloons 🎈

Balloons are an easy and effective way to add colour, height, and festive energy to your Eid celebration. They create visual impact and work beautifully in both indoor and outdoor spaces.

Consider placing the Eid Mubarak Poster (A3) nearby as an additional photo element. This high-quality card poster (42cm x 29.7cm) features a beautiful white and gold mosque silhouette with crescent moon and stars.

Good lighting is essential for great photos, so position your photo area near natural light if possible, or add some soft lighting to ensure everyone looks their best in the pictures.
