Nottingham Ramadan Timetable 2027: A Complete 30 Day Sehri and Iftar Guide

Nottingham Ramadan Timetable 2027 begins with one date worth saving now: the first fast is expected on Monday 8 February 2027. This guide walks through the whole month for Nottingham, from the moon sighting night to Eid, with daily Sehri and Iftar times, a free PDF, and simple planning ideas for families, students and workers across the city.

Exact prayer and iftar times should always come from your own mosque, such as Islamic Centre Nottingham on Curzon Street or another mosque you regularly attend. This page explains how to read a timetable safely, why the dates move each year, and where to get a printable copy for your fridge or phone.

Why the Nottingham Ramadan Timetable 2027 Matters

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. Read the full background in our complete guide to what Ramadan is. Muslims fast from dawn to sunset, pray more often, read the Quran and give to charity. The lunar year is about eleven days shorter than the solar year, so Ramadan moves roughly eleven days earlier each year.

In 2027 the month falls across a Midlands winter into early spring. Fasting days stay short and manageable compared with the long summer fasts of recent years, which makes the Nottingham Ramadan Timetable 2027 an easier month to plan around ordinary work and school routines.

Key Dates in the Nottingham Ramadan Timetable 2027

Calculations from several UK organisations point to the same broad picture for the East Midlands. The crescent is looked for on the evening of Sunday 7 February 2027, so the first fast in Nottingham is expected on Monday 8 February.

Please note: Ramadan lasts 29 or 30 days, so every date above may shift by one day depending on whether your Nottingham mosque follows a local sighting, a calculation, or an overseas announcement. Some mosques across the city, from St Ann's to Radford and Forest Fields, may confirm the start a day apart. The safest rule is to follow the mosque you attend.

Full Nottingham Ramadan Timetable 2027: All 30 Days

This is the complete Nottingham Ramadan Timetable 2027, shown day by day for the whole month. Fajr marks the end of Sehri, and Maghrib is your Iftar time. Day 1 is the expected first fast, and every date moves by one day if your mosque starts a day later.

How these times were made: The Nottingham Ramadan Timetable 2027 times are calculated for Nottingham (GMT, 52.95 degrees N, 1.16 degrees W) using the Muslim World League angles, 18 degrees for Fajr and 17 degrees for Isha, with Maghrib at sunset. Many local mosques use a different Fajr angle, so their Fajr can be later by up to about 20 minutes. Some also add a minute or two of caution to Maghrib. Always follow the timetable published by the mosque you attend.

Fasting Hours in the Nottingham Ramadan Timetable 2027 Explained

Nottingham sits inland in the East Midlands, so its daylight pattern is close to Derby and Leicester with a small variation. Using the table above, the fast is about 11.3 hours on Day 1 and close to 13.3 hours by Day 30. Mosque timetables with a later Fajr angle will show a slightly shorter fast. Daylight grows by roughly four minutes every two days through February, so the fast lengthens steadily across the month.

How to Read Your Sehri and Iftar Times

• Sehri must finish before Fajr: Stop eating and drinking once Fajr begins, not at sunrise.
• Iftar starts at Maghrib: This is sunset, so break your fast the exact minute your timetable shows.
• Times change daily: Sunset moves a minute or two later each day through February and March.

Real example

A nurse finishing a shift at the QMC around 5pm on Day 1 of the Nottingham Ramadan Timetable 2027 finds her Iftar falls close to that time, so she keeps a bottle of water and a few dates in her bag rather than waiting until she reaches home.

Preparing for Ramadan in Nottingham

Four Weeks Before Ramadan

• Make up any missed fasts from last Ramadan.
• Start a light routine of Quran reading, even one page a day.
• Reduce caffeine slowly to avoid headaches on Day 1.

One Week Before Ramadan

• Plan meals for Sehri and Iftar, and freeze a few soup or curry portions ahead of time.
• Ask your employer or school about flexible hours for prayer and rest.
• Read our guide to fasting for the rules of Sawm.

Healthy Fasting Tips for a Nottingham Winter Ramadan

At Sehri

Choose oats, eggs, yoghurt, fruit and plenty of water. These digest slowly and keep you full through a shorter winter fast.

At Iftar

Break your fast with dates and water, pray Maghrib, then eat a balanced meal. Heavy fried food straight away can leave you sluggish for Tarawih.

Medical advice

If you manage diabetes, take regular medication or are pregnant, speak with your GP or pharmacist before Ramadan begins. General guidance is available at NHS.uk. Islam gives clear exemptions to the ill, travellers, and anyone for whom fasting would cause harm.

Ramadan at Work, School and University in Nottingham

A winter and early spring Ramadan is easier in one respect, because daylight stays short. It remains a working month for most people, so a little planning helps a great deal during the Nottingham Ramadan Timetable 2027.

For employees

• Speak to your manager in January about lunch break use, flexible start times and leave for the last ten nights.
• Book demanding meetings for the morning, when energy tends to be higher.
• Ask about a quiet room for Dhuhr and Asr prayers during the working day.

For students

Tell your teacher or tutor early, especially if you have PE lessons or exams during the month. The University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University both provide prayer spaces on campus, and Trent lists Islamic Centre Nottingham among nearby places of worship for students. Sleep matters most, so plan homework before Isha where you can.

Practical example

A sixth form student in Nottingham finishes lessons at 3:30pm. She naps for thirty minutes, does homework until Maghrib, then eats a light Iftar. She prays Isha and Tarawih at the mosque, then reads a page of Quran before bed.

Family Life: Fasting With Children and Elders

Children are not required to fast until puberty, but many Nottingham families introduce it gently. A child might fast until lunchtime, or for one day each weekend, and be praised warmly for the effort.

Elders and people with health conditions should be cared for first. If a relative cannot fast, they are not failing. Islam gives them a clear exemption, and their prayers and kindness still carry great value.

• Break the fast together at least a few nights a week.
• Give each child a small role, such as setting the table or filling the water jug.
• Invite a neighbour to Iftar, Muslim or not.
• Keep a family Ramadan chart with a sticker for each completed fast.

Giving, Zakat and Community Service in Nottingham

Ramadan is known as the month of generosity. Many people pay their annual Zakat during this month, and all who can afford it pay Zakat al Fitr before Eid prayer. Learn the basics in our Zakat guide.

Ways to give locally in Nottingham

• Sponsor Iftar meals at your local mosque, such as Islamic Centre Nottingham or Masjid Umar.
• Donate to a food bank in Nottingham or a nearby East Midlands town.
• Check on elderly neighbours who may be fasting alone.
• Give a small regular sum every day, so charity becomes a habit rather than a single act.

Always give through registered charities you trust. Check the Charity Commission register to confirm a charity is properly registered.

Laylat al Qadr and the Last Ten Nights

The Night of Decree is described in the Quran as better than a thousand months. Its exact date is not fixed, and scholars advise looking for it on the odd nights of the last ten. In the Nottingham Ramadan Timetable 2027, the night of the 27th begins on the evening of Friday 5 March 2027, if the month begins as expected.

1. Sleep earlier in the afternoon so you can stand in prayer at night.
2. Pray extra units and make dua in your own language.
3. Recite the dua often taught for these nights, asking Allah for forgiveness.
4. Consider itikaf if your mosque offers it and your work allows.

Eid al Fitr After the Nottingham Ramadan Timetable 2027

Eid is expected on Tuesday 9 or Wednesday 10 March 2027 in Nottingham. Before Eid prayer, every Muslim who is able pays Zakat al Fitr. Local mosques and community halls across the city often host Eid prayers, and times usually appear on mosque notice boards and social media a few days ahead.

How This Nottingham Ramadan Timetable 2027 Was Calculated

The start and Eid dates in the Nottingham Ramadan Timetable 2027 come from astronomical projections used by UK and international organisations, and they remain subject to the moon. The daily Sehri and Iftar times were calculated using standard solar formulas for Nottingham's coordinates, the same Muslim World League method described by the Islamic Society of North America and used across many UK timetables such as those listed on FivePrayer's Nottingham prayer times page. This is a planning tool, not a religious ruling. When your mosque publishes its own timetable, follow that one.
