First open iftar held at Windsor Castle in 1,000-year history
St George's Hall, world renowned for hosting state banquets, welcomed over 360 guests of all backgrounds to mark the first open iftar event of 2025 organised by the Ramadan Tent Project in collaboration with Royal Collection Trust, the charity that welcomes visitors to the official royal residences. It is the first event of its kind to mark the Moslem holy month of Ramadan inside the State Apartments at the world's largest and oldest occupied castle in the world, and the first iftar gathering held in the Hall, which was constructed in the 14th century during the reign of King Edward III. Open iftar has so far brought together over one million people across the UK and saw some of Britannia's most well-known venues open their doors to visitors from all faiths and none, to foster community, inclusivity and cultural exchange during Ramadan.
