About this Event
Our Annual Ramadan Retreat returns for 2026.
A unique Ramadan hike along with Iftar, night prayers and suhoor at Ilam Park, a gorgeous National Trust Estate located in Staffordshire, Peak District.
Home to Italian gardens and riverside walks, we've picked out this superb location for a beautiful walk taking in the most breathtaking views of this stunning part of the Peak District. Although there are magnificent views along the way, this route does not feel like a tough one and is a great one to enjoy casually whilst fasting.
A fully inclusive 1 night stay including a guided hike, 3 course Iftar meal, Suhoor & more!
You'll also have the opportunity to join National Trust rangers for a short optional conservation taster session. Work alongside the knowledgeable ranger team to deliver a hands-on practical conservation management task at Ilam Park. No experience needed, full instruction will be given on the day and all equipment and protective clothing will be provided. A chance to find out how National Trust care for their places.
All are welcome regardless of religious background or ability. Whether you're a seasoned mountaineer or a first time walker, we invite you to join us for this unique experience in the beautiful Peak District.
This event is supported by National Trust & YHA.
