Why it is worth attending
Eid in the Square is one of London's most important Muslim-facing public celebrations, staged in Trafalgar Square by the Mayor of London with community, arts, food and cultural programming. For Irhal travellers it is more than a photo stop: it is a visible expression of Muslim London in the civic heart of the city.
What to expect
In 2026 the event marked its twentieth anniversary and celebrated Eid al-Adha with family activities, food stalls, performance, literature, fashion and community programming. Travellers should arrive by public transport, expect bag checks and crowds around Charing Cross, and verify prayer plans separately because the square is a festival site, not a masjid.
