Families brought dishes to share while there was fun for the children with bouncy castles, go-karts and ice cream at the North West Islamic Association event on Saturday.
Eid al-Adha – ‘the feast of sacrifice’ – is a celebration of Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son, Ismail.
It is one of the main official celebrations within Islam and occurs two months after Eid al-Fitr (the feast of the breaking of the fast) which occurs at the end of Ramadan.
