Planning your 2027 worship calendar? Here are the expected Islamic dates for UK Muslims, with a month-by-month timeline to help you plan Umrah, Hajj and Eid. All dates depend on moon sighting.
🌙 Ramadan 2027 UK (Expected)
Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin around Monday 8 February 2027 in the UK, depending on the crescent sighting on 7 February. Because Ramadan falls in winter, UK fasts will be roughly 11 to 12 hours, among the shortest in years. That makes it a good time to travel for Umrah.
✨ Shab-e-Qadr 2027 (Laylatul Qadr) Expected Dates
Laylatul Qadr falls on one of the odd nights of the last ten days of Ramadan. Based on an 8 February start, the expected nights are:
| Night | Expected evening (UK) |
|---|---|
| 21st | 27 February 2027 |
| 23rd | 1 March 2027 |
| 25th | 3 March 2027 |
| 27th | 5 March 2027 |
| 29th | 7 March 2027 |
Many Muslims in the UK focus on the 27th night, but seeking all five odd nights earns the greatest reward.
Eid ul Fitr 2027 UK (Expected)
Eid ul Fitr 2027 is expected on Wednesday 10 March 2027 in the UK. If the moon is sighted on the evening of 8 March, Eid could fall on Tuesday 9 March. Saudi Arabia may announce Eid a day earlier than the UK.
When is Hajj 2027?
Hajj 2027 is expected to run from about 14 to 19 May 2027:
- Day of Arafah: 15 May 2027
- Eid ul Adha 2027 UK: around 16 May 2027 (possibly 17 May, depending on UK sighting)
Hajj bookings now run through the official Nusuk platform, and UK quotas fill quickly, so early planning matters.
When is Eid Celebrated?
Eid is celebrated on the 1st of Shawwal (Eid ul Fitr) and the 10th of Dhul Hijjah (Eid ul Adha). Each Islamic month begins with the sighting of the new crescent. That is why the UK, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan sometimes celebrate on different days.

Umrah & Hajj Booking Tips for UK Pilgrims
- Book Ramadan Umrah early. The last ten days sell out months ahead.
- Choose your Umrah timing. Early Ramadan is quieter, while the last ten days are the most spiritually intense.
- Prepare for May heat. Hajj 2027 will be hot, so allow time for health checks, vaccinations and training for the physical demands.
- Keep your passport valid. It needs at least six months’ validity beyond your travel date.
- Stay flexible. Dates may shift by a day, so ask about flexible arrangements.

Frequently Asked Questions:
1. What are the two dates for Eid 2027?
The two Eids in 2027 are:
Eid ul Fitr 2027: expected on Wednesday 10 March 2027 in the UK (or Tuesday 9 March if the moon is sighted on 8 March)
Eid ul Adha 2027: expected on Sunday 16 May 2027 in the UK (possibly 17 May, depending on moon sighting)
2. What are Ramadan dates for 2027?
Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin around Monday 8 February 2027 in the UK, subject to the crescent sighting on 7 February. It should end around 8 or 9 March 2027, with Eid ul Fitr following on 9 or 10 March. Fasts in the UK will be roughly 11 to 12 hours, which is short compared with summer Ramadans.
3. Will 2027 have two Ramadans?
No, 2027 will have only one Ramadan. The Islamic calendar is lunar and about 11 days shorter than the Gregorian year, so Ramadan moves earlier each year. After beginning around 8 February 2027, the next Ramadan is expected around 28 January 2028, so it falls in the following calendar year. A year with two Ramadans is rare and next happens in 2030.
4. When is Shab-e-Qadr 2027 in the UK?
Laylatul Qadr falls on one of the odd nights of the last ten days of Ramadan. Based on an 8 February start, the expected nights are 27 February, 1 March, 3 March, 5 March (27th night) and 7 March 2027. Many UK Muslims focus on the 27th night, but it is best to seek all the odd nights.
