The Manchester Eid Festival in partnership with Islamic Relief will take place outside the Old Trafford Football Stadium on July 1 and 2.

Money raised from the festival outside the home of Manchester United will go towards water projects for orphans across the world, and will also support the families of the victims of the Manchester Attack.

Ateeq Salik, Islamic Relief’s Regional Manager in the North said, “The idea is to make the celebration of Eid a universal one, by uniting communities on a common pitch – pardon the pun!

 “We were all deeply hurt by the devastating incident in Manchester and want to use this event as a platform for unity in this great city. Sport and, of course football, unites people of all faiths and ethnicities, and what better place to come to than arguably the biggest club in the world, Manchester United. 

"We want to create an environment that is welcoming of all faiths and ethnicities to come and experience the wonders of Eid, while raising vital funds for charity. And of course supporters of all football clubs are equally welcome!”

The event will have:
• Opportunities to tour the Manchester United Museum and Stadium, at discounted prices*
• Over 30+ fun fair rides including bumper cars, a fun house and more
• 50 stalls ranging from food, clothes, accessories, arts and crafts. 
• High-quality food stalls from across the world 
• Over 40 stalls ranging from hot food and desserts to the best in Asian and Arab fashion
• Stage performances and talks

The event takes place on Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd July in Car Park W3, Old Trafford Stadium, Sir Matt Busby Way, Manchester M16 ORA. There will be free parking on site. Entry:  Adults £2, Children £1
