Ramadan 2027 times in Bradford from imsak to iftar
In Bradford, the timetable for the first day of Ramadan, expected on Monday 8 February 2027, gives imsak at 05:31 and iftar at 17:02, a fast of 11 hours 31 minutes. By day 15, on Monday 22 February, imsak has moved to 05:05 and iftar to 17:30, so the fast lasts 12 hours 25 minutes. On day 29, Monday 8 March, imsak is at 04:32 and iftar at 17:57, for 13 hours 25 minutes.
What the Bradford timetable shows from imsak to isha and how it compares with London
The timetable also lists fajr, sunrise and isha: on day 1 fajr is at 05:41, sunrise at 07:41 and isha at 18:55, while on day 29 isha has moved to 19:48. Compared with London, iftar in Bradford on day 1 comes at exactly the same minute as London, at 17:02 against 17:02. The gap on day 29 is 4 minutes, with Bradford at 17:57 and London at 17:53.
Over the month the fast in Bradford grows by 114 minutes between day 1 and day 29: imsak comes 59 minutes earlier and iftar 55 minutes later. The change is steady rather than sudden, so you will feel the days lengthen week by week as the Bradford sunset moves from 17:02 toward 17:57. Sunrise follows the same rhythm, shifting from 07:41 on day 1 to 07:12 on day 15 and 06:39 on day 29, while isha moves from 18:55 to 19:21 and then 19:48, which also pushes tarawih later into the evening.
Why the Bradford mosque calendar matters
Bradford's timetable uses the Muslim World League method, where fajr is set at 18 degrees, isha at 17 degrees and imsak ten minutes before fajr. Bradford mosques may apply other angles, or their own extra minutes. Bradford has many mosques, and calendars sometimes differ by a day depending on moon-sighting decisions. Choose one and follow it all month, comparing its imsak with the 05:31 calculated here for day 1. The expected start of Ramadan 1448 is Monday 8 February 2027, and the sighting of the new moon will confirm or move it.
Ramadan in Bradford: weather, daily life and iftar
Bradford lies in West Yorkshire on the edge of the Pennines, in a valley with steep slopes, so winter is cold, windy and often wet. In February sunrise is at 07:41 on day 1. The city's wool-trade past is visible in its stone mills and in Little Germany, and the hills surrounding it give dramatic views on clear evenings.
Daily life and iftar in Bradford
Bradford has a large community of Pakistani heritage and many Muslim-owned shops, restaurants and businesses, so Ramadan is visible in the street, with sweet shops and bakeries busy before sunset. The University of Bradford and the colleges add students. Many people finish work early to be home for iftar, and families often visit each other during the month.
Iftar in Bradford commonly begins with dates, fruit and snacks, followed by a full meal after the sunset prayer. Family tables are shared with neighbours and relatives, and many people pray isha and tarawih at the mosque afterwards. Tarawih is expected to begin on Sunday 7 February in the evening, and the 27th night to begin on Friday 5 March at sunset.
Practical advice for fasting in Bradford
Practical advice is simple. Bradford's steep streets and cold wind make walking harder on an empty stomach, so plan shorter routes, wear warm layers and leave extra time for the journey to the mosque. A good night matters as much as a good meal, so go to sleep soon after tarawih. On day 15 the fast in Bradford lasts 12 hours 25 minutes, which is long enough to reward some planning of meals and appointments. Eid al-Fitr would be on Tuesday 9 March 2027 for a 29-day month, or Wednesday 10 March for a 30-day month.
- Choose shorter routes on the steep streets.
- Buy food earlier in the day to avoid queues.
- Wear warm layers for evening prayers.
- Rely on a single mosque calendar.
Which Ramadan 2027 calendar should I follow in Bradford?

The calculated timetable gives imsak at 05:31 and iftar at 17:02 on day 1, but a mosque may announce the start a day later after the crescent is sighted, and all its times would then shift with it.

Is Eid a day off, and how do I manage work or school in Bradford?
Is Eid a day off, and how do I manage work or study in Bradford? In Bradford, many employers are used to Ramadan, but it is still wise to agree a sunset break early. Eid is not a bank holiday, so book the morning off in advance if you want to attend the prayer with family. Friday 5 March marks the expected start, in the evening, of the 27th night, so make arrangements early for the last ten nights with their longer prayers and lighter sleep.
