Ramadan 2027 times in Leeds from imsak to iftar
In Leeds, the timetable for the first day of Ramadan, expected on Monday 8 February 2027, gives imsak at 05:30 and iftar at 17:01, a fast of 11 hours 31 minutes. By day 15, on Monday 22 February, imsak has moved to 05:04 and iftar to 17:29, so the fast lasts 12 hours 25 minutes. On day 29, Monday 8 March, imsak is at 04:31 and iftar at 17:56, for 13 hours 25 minutes.
What the Leeds 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 05:40, sunrise at 07:40 and isha at 18:55, while on day 29 isha has moved to 19:47. Compared with London, iftar in Leeds on day 1 comes 1 minute earlier than in London, at 17:01 against 17:02. By day 29 Leeds is 3 minutes later than London, with iftar at 17:56 against 17:53.
Over the month the fast in Leeds 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 Leeds sunset moves from 17:01 toward 17:56. Sunrise follows the same rhythm, shifting from 07:40 on day 1 to 07:11 on day 15 and 06:39 on day 29, while isha moves from 18:55 to 19:20 and then 19:47, which also pushes tarawih later into the evening.
Why the Leeds mosque calendar matters
Leeds relies here on the Muslim World League convention, which means 18 degrees for fajr, 17 degrees for isha, and imsak ten minutes earlier than fajr. Some Leeds mosques adopt other angles, or add their own buffer to the calculation. Leeds has many mosques serving different communities, and calendars sometimes differ by a day. Follow the mosque closest to home or work for consistency, and compare its imsak with the calculated 05:30 for Leeds on day 1. Monday 8 February 2027 is the expected first day of Ramadan 1448, pending the moon sighting.
Ramadan in Leeds: weather, daily life and iftar
Leeds sits on the River Aire in West Yorkshire, on the eastern edge of the Pennines, so winter can bring sharp frosts as well as grey drizzle. In February and early March the mornings are cold and the sun only rises at 07:40 on the first day. The canal and riverside paths in the city centre are quiet, and the long evenings arrive just as the month closes.
Daily life and iftar in Leeds
Leeds is a big university and office city, with thousands of students and workers commuting daily from Chapeltown, Harehills, Beeston and other neighbourhoods. Fasting often means a long day of lectures or meetings followed by a short bus ride home. Many families gather for iftar at home, while students sometimes meet in societies and break the fast together after a day on campus.
After the sunset prayer, tables across West Yorkshire usually start with dates, water and soup, followed by heartier dishes to counter the cold. Plates of food often cross the doorstep between Leeds neighbours. Expect the opening tarawih on the evening of Sunday 7 February; the 27th night is due on Friday 5 March, after sunset.
Practical advice for fasting in Leeds
Practical advice is simple. With cold Pennine air in the mornings, keep the pre-dawn meal warm and filling, and plan your commute around the 17:01 sunset on day 1, when the walk home may already be in the dark. Do not neglect sleep: bed soon after tarawih makes the early starts easier. On day 15 the fast in Leeds lasts 12 hours 25 minutes, which is long enough to reward some planning of meals and appointments. Eid al-Fitr is expected on Tuesday 9 March 2027 if Ramadan lasts 29 days and on Wednesday 10 March if it lasts 30.
- Plan the commute so you are home before sunset.
- Eat a warm pre-dawn meal rather than cold food.
- Study or work in short blocks on the first days.
- Check the mosque calendar for the final ten nights.
Which Ramadan 2027 calendar should I follow in Leeds?
Which Ramadan calendar should I follow in Leeds? Safest of all is to adopt the calendar of your own mosque, or your family's, and not switch halfway through. The calculated timetable gives imsak at 05:30 and iftar at 17:01 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 Leeds?
Is Eid a day off, and how do I manage work or study in Leeds? In Leeds, employers and universities do not change their hours for Ramadan, so agree a flexible break early in the month. Eid is not a bank holiday, so ask for the morning off in advance, especially if the date is only confirmed the evening before. The evening of Friday 5 March should mark the start of the 27th night, so sort out transport and meals ahead of the final ten nights, when prayers run long and evenings are short of rest.
