Celebrate the spirit of Ramadan with an evening of art, storytelling and togetherness. Wander through stations inspired by moonlight, memory and tradition. Take part in games, henna sessions and a variety of creative activities for all ages. You can also enjoy some local snacks.
Early Learning Station
Ages 3–5 (accompanied by an adult)
In this hands-on space for little ones and their parents or caregivers, explore simple prompts inspired by Ramadan symbols to decorate lanterns with moons and stars.
A Ramadan Sensory Adventure
Ages 3–5 (accompanied by an adult)
Nurture your children’s sensory development through a series of guided smelling activities linking scent and memory. After little ones are exposed to the aromas of spices and flavourings such as saffron and rose water, they will draw coloured shapes inspired by what they have experienced. This session grows powers of observation and simple storytelling skills while enabling shared reflection between children and their families.

Ramadan Remembrance
Ages 11–15
Turn the magic of Ramadan into a zine!
