The celebration is the first of a series of events from multiple faiths being highlighted by the Environment Agency as part of the Interreg Preventing Plastic Pollution (PPP) programme, which aims to reach a wider audience with its avoidable plastics message.
Eid al-Fitr (12 and 13 May), also called the ‘Festival of Breaking the Fast’, is a religious holiday celebrated by Muslims to mark the end of the month-long dawn-to-sunset fasting of Ramadan.
