Grand Iftar at Bristol Cathedral

Bristol Cathedral, Muslims4Bristol and Bridges for Communities are delighted to be working together to bring a Grand Iftar to Bristol city centre for the third year in a row. On Thursday 13th March, Bristol Cathedral will open its doors to welcome people from across the city, to come together and share a meal at this special multi faith event.

Iftar is the time when Muslims break their fast at sunset during Ramadan. It is seen as an opportunity to spend time with friends, family and people from the wider community. The Cathedral will host the Iftar, which this year has the theme ‘Belonging and Togetherness’, and Iftar prayers will take place outside the Cathedral in an adjacent facility.

“As a charity focussed on building social cohesion, we’re excited to see faith communities working together in new ways. Sharing a meal and listening to one another’s traditions and beliefs is a great starting point for dialogue. It doesn’t mean you have to agree about everything, and it’s not about mixing or watering down your beliefs or convictions – it’s about spending time together where you can build on what we have in common. We hope that there will be lots of similar opportunities for people to visit other places of worship during the year.”

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.

Doors open at 5.00pm.
