For the first time in three years, people from across Bristol came together for the St Mark's Road Grand Iftar, where non-Muslims join Muslims to eat together at dusk during the holy month of Ramadan. The annual event, which attracted 6,000 people in 2019, has been cancelled for two years in a row due to the pandemic.
The Bristol event - described as a global inspiration - returned as a scaled-back version. As a mark of respect to the St Mark's Road traders who had concerns over the national Covid trajectory, the organisers agreed to limit the numbers for this year's event.
