Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin on Monday 8 February 2027 in the UK, with the first taraweeh prayer on the evening of Sunday 7 February. Eid al-Fitr is expected on Tuesday 9 or Wednesday 10 March 2027, depending on whether the month lasts 29 or 30 days. As always, the final dates depend on the moon sighting, so follow the announcement from your local mosque.
Below you will find every key date for Ramadan 1448 in one place, a free printable Ramadan 2027 calendar for the family fridge or the classroom wall, and a few gentle ideas for making the month special for children. At the end there is a small selection of personalised Ramadan gifts from our Northampton studio.
Ramadan 2027 dates in the UK
| Moment | Expected date (2027) |
|---|---|
| First taraweeh prayer | Evening of Sunday 7 February |
| First day of fasting (1 Ramadan) | Monday 8 February |
| The last ten nights begin | Evening of Saturday 27 February |
| 27th night, when many seek Laylat al-Qadr | Evening of Friday 5 March |
| Last fast | Monday 8 or Tuesday 9 March |
| Eid al-Fitr | Tuesday 9 or Wednesday 10 March |
| Eid al-Adha | Around Sunday 16 May |
These dates are based on astronomical predictions and may move by a day once the crescent is sighted. Some UK communities follow a local sighting and others follow an announcement from Saudi Arabia, so it is quite normal for two mosques in the same town to begin a day apart.
How long will the fasts be?
Because Ramadan 2027 falls in late winter, the fasts are some of the shortest UK Muslims have had for many years. In most of the country they will be roughly 11 to 13 hours, starting shorter in early February and growing a little longer each day as sunset moves later into March. Exact suhoor and iftar times vary by city, so use your local mosque's timetable for the times themselves.
Free printable Ramadan 2027 calendar
Our free Ramadan 2027 calendar is a single A4 page with all 30 days, the expected date of each fast and three small boxes to tick each day: fasted, Quran and a kind deed. The last ten nights are softly shaded so children can see when the most blessed nights arrive, and there is space at the top for a name.
Download the free Ramadan 2027 calendar (PDF)
Print it at home on A4 paper, or on card if you would like it to last the month on the fridge. Schools, nurseries, madrasahs and community groups are very welcome to print and share it with their families.
Ideas for using it with children:
- A tick for every good deed. Younger children who are not yet fasting can still fill in the Quran and kind deed boxes every day.
- Practice fasts. Many families let children try a half-day fast at the weekend. Mark those days in a different colour.
- The last ten nights. Use the shaded squares as a reminder to add an extra dua or a little charity each evening.
- An Eid reward. Count the ticks on Eid morning and celebrate the effort, not just the number.
Making the month special at home
Small rituals are what children remember. A lantern lit at iftar, a basket of dates by the door for guests, a jar of folded duas to pick from each night, or a family iftar with grandparents on the first weekend. If this is a child's first full fast, it is a milestone worth marking with a photograph, a dua and the date written down somewhere they can see it years from now.
