A huge family-friendly Eid ul-Fitr event is returning to East London next week. The 1Eid Festival will take over Ilford's Goodmayes Park for two days between March 30 and April 1, depending on when Eid falls, to mark the end of Ramadan.
Now in it's 18th year, the popular event is jam-packed with things to do and see. There will be a petting zoo, circus performers, fire jugglers, axe throwing, sumo competitions and over 30 funfair attractions for adults and children of all ages to enjoy.
Part of the park is also being transformed into a market selling artisan products, toys, clothes and home décor. Of course, no event is complete without food so there'll be plenty of stalls serving up cuisine from around the world, plus desserts and soft drinks.
A mass prayer is also planned for 10am on Eid, as well as a 30-minute fireworks show at around 9.30pm. The Eid festival will take from 11am to 10pm, with the second day scheduled for 1pm to 9.30pm.
Tickets start at £2 and can be purchased online, including family and parking bundles. They can also be bought in person at the gate but may be more expensive.
Parking is available on Eid only in the Orchard Playing Fields, which is around seven minutes walk from the park. The Elizabeth line also stops at the nearby Goodmayes and Chadwell Heath stations, both of which are less than 20 minutes away on foot.
