Celebrating Eid together

Creating a welcoming atmosphere is key to a memorable Eid celebration. Consider decorating your home with festive decorations – think patterned lanterns, floral arrangements or simple handmade crescent moons and star decorations.

Extend this festive spirit to your dining table by decorating it with colourful tableware, soft linen tablecloths, candles in striking holders and perhaps some small, thoughtful favours for your guests.

Food, of course, plays a starring role in any Eid gathering! Sharing food is a lovely way to show community and togetherness, whether you're cooking a lavish feast of traditional foods or going for a more casual spread. Don't forget the sweet treats. Delicate pastries and rich desserts bring an extra touch of indulgence to the celebration.

For an extra sprinkle of magic at your Eid celebration, think about engaging activities for the younger guests. Why not set up a fun cookie decorating session or orchestrate an exciting treasure hunt?
