Our Annual Ramadan Retreat returns for 2024.
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 & extras!
This is a fantastic chance to meet likeminded hikers & adventurers from across the country and enjoy a scenic social trek as part of a professionally organised event with qualified mountain guides.
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.
