MK Interfaith Community Iftar - A Home for Humanity

The MK Interfaith Community Iftar returns to the Furzton Ridgeway Community Centre on Friday 19 February 2027, from 4:00 pm to 7:30 pm. It's one of the signature events of the MK Interfaith Community (MKIAC), a night of community building and breaking bread together that brings together Muslims and non-Muslims, people of no faith and all faiths to break fast, share food, listen to inspiring Nasheeds and speeches, and build community.

This year's Iftar falls during Milton Keynes's sixtieth birthday year, and the organisers describe Ramadan as a month of hospitality and sharing, in which the focus is not only on abstaining from food and drink but also on reflecting on the beauty, truth and love surrounding us. The theme is A Home for Humanity, which follows last year's From Homeland to Sanctuary — that one invited reflection on the journeys of prophets who experienced displacement; this year asks what those journeys require of us today.

Behind the event is MKIAC, who advocate for greater openness and acceptance of people of different faiths and of those who express their spiritual life in many diverse ways. The Iftar is a practical expression of that: a room full of people from across the city sitting down to a shared meal, regardless of where they stand on faith.

Tickets are £11.50 via Eventbrite, and the evening runs from 4:00 pm to 7:30 pm at the Furzton Ridgeway Community Centre on Dulverton Drive, Furzton, MK4 1NA.
