Two community organisations are hosting the first ‘street Iftar’ in Bedford this Thursday (28 April) in Harpur Square.
The Eid in Bedford Team and Islam Bedford are co-hosting the event from 6pm to 10pm and everyone is invited whatever their beliefs.
Iftar is the evening meal with which Muslims end their daily Ramadan fast at sunset. On Thursday, this will be at 8.22pm.
“We will be inviting everyone in Bedford to come and break fast with the Muslim community and dine with us at sunset,” an organiser told the Bedford Independent.
“We have dignitaries attending the event, including the new High Sheriff of Bedfordshire and speakers too.”
Organisers are reaching out to everyone in the community, inviting them to come and share the meal which will be served outside the Harpur Suite in Harpur Square.
To help them cater for the event, anyone wishing to attend is encouraged to register at this link: eventbrite.co.uk/
