This Saturday, Trafalgar Square is set to be transformed once more for the 20th anniversary edition of the Eid al-Adha food festival, Eid on the square. 

This event offers an opportunity for visitors and London locals alike to come together and celebrate London's diverse Muslim communities in a variety of ways, from art, culture and literature to history, fashion and food. There will also be an impressive entertainment line-up including the likes of the London Arab Orchestra, Al Nour Group, and Khaled Siddiq. 

There will be a host of activities taking place throughout the day to keep you busy including an exciting immersive installation from Everyday Muslim, fencing workshops from Muslim Girls Fence and arts and crafts workshops, which are perfect for keeping kids engaged and entertained. Come hungry and seize the opportunity to try a myriad of different delicacies from the numerous food stalls and spend some time learning with the community and charity stalls, and of course, browsing the retail shops. This is truly a special festival not to be missed.
