Newcastle Ramadan 2027 timetable from day 1 to day 29
Newcastle upon Tyne begins Ramadan 1448, expected on Monday 8 February 2027, with imsak at 05:31, fajr at 05:41 and sunrise at 07:44, a late dawn for the north-east of England. Iftar, the maghrib prayer, is at 16:58 and isha at 18:55. The first fast lasts 11 hours 27 minutes from imsak to iftar.
Tyneside's growing fast, day 1 to day 29
Halfway, on Monday 22 February, Newcastle's imsak has moved to 05:03 and iftar to 17:27, which makes 12 hours 24 minutes. By Monday 8 March, day 29, the figures are 04:29 and 17:56, a fast of 13 hours 27 minutes. That is 120 minutes more than on day 1: 62 gained at dawn, 58 at dusk.
Far to the north, daylight changes fast: sunrise goes from 07:44 to 07:14 and then 06:40, fajr from 05:41 to 04:39, and isha from 18:55 to 19:50. The night is squeezed at both ends, and suhoor comes ever earlier in the dark.
Newcastle versus the capital
Newcastle breaks its fast at 16:58 on day 1, 4 minutes before London at 17:02, but wakes later for suhoor, with imsak at 05:31 against 05:24. Its fast of 11 hours 27 minutes is therefore 11 minutes shorter than London's 11 hours 38 minutes. The order reverses by day 29, when Newcastle's 13 hours 27 minutes exceeds London's 13 hours 23 minutes by 4 minutes.
The Newcastle table from dawn to isha
Tyneside's day 15 row reads fajr 05:13, sunrise 07:14, iftar 17:27 and isha 19:21. Behind it is the Muslim World League formula, 18 degrees of solar depression for fajr and 17 for isha, with imsak a ten-minute margin before fajr. Mosques in the Newcastle area may prefer other angles or a local calendar, which is why the list on your own mosque's noticeboard is the reference.
Day 29 is the most demanding day of the month: imsak at 04:29 means a very early start, while iftar at 17:56 and isha at 19:50 push the evening meal and tarawih late. Prepare suhoor in advance, rest in the afternoon if your job allows, and avoid scheduling long trips for those last evenings.
Newcastle during the fasting month
Newcastle stands on the north bank of the River Tyne, facing Gateshead across a gorge crossed by the Tyne Bridge and several other famous bridges. February and March are cold, with highs of about 7 degrees, a biting wind from the North Sea and occasional sleet, so warm clothes matter for everyone who walks to prayers.
A university city on the Tyne
Newcastle University and Northumbria University give the city a large student population, and many Muslim students fast during term time. The Metro network links the centre with the airport, the coast and Gateshead, which helps with late tarawih journeys, while Sunderland and Durham are both within easy reach for family visits.
Soup, dates and the calendar on Tyneside
Families around the Tyne usually break the fast at home with dates, soup and water, and mosques of the city host shared meals on some weekends. Tarawih is due to open on the Sunday evening, 7 February. Friday 5 March at sunset marks the expected start of the 27th night, and Eid al-Fitr is expected on 9 March, or on 10 March if Ramadan completes thirty days.
Practical advice for a cold month
Cold and darkness at suhoor time call for warm clothes and a hot drink, and an early finish at work on day 1, when iftar is at 16:58, keeps the evening manageable. Wrap up well on the Quayside walk, and save any trip to Hadrian's Wall or the Northumberland coast for after Ramadan.
Newcastle's Quayside, the Grainger Town streets and the shops around Eldon Square are easy to cross on foot or by Metro, but pavements can be icy in February. Wear shoes with a good grip, and allow extra time on frosty mornings when walking to the mosque for the dawn prayer.
- Wear a hat, gloves and a windproof coat for the North Sea wind.
- Check Metro times before late tarawih.
- Eat a warm suhoor before imsak at 05:31 on day 1.
- Request Eid leave in good time.
When does Ramadan begin on Tyneside and who gets Eid off?
Before Ramadan, people on Tyneside usually want to know the same three things, each tied to the moon and to the mosque they follow, and each easier to settle before the first fast.
Which Ramadan calendar suits Newcastle?
Mosques in the North East will not all announce on the same evening: some calculate, some wait for a sighting, and the expected start on Monday 8 February 2027 can shift by a day. Take the calendar of the community you pray with as the reference and let the timetable serve as a close guide.
Is the fast on Tyneside longer by mid-month, and what about Eid leave?
On day 15, Monday 22 February, the Newcastle fast lasts 12 hours 24 minutes, from imsak at 05:03 to iftar at 17:27. Eid al-Fitr is no bank holiday in the United Kingdom, so universities and employers need notice; it is expected on Tuesday 9 March after 29 days, or on Wednesday 10 March after 30.
Because the crescent decides the day, tell your manager or tutor in Newcastle early that Eid leave may need to move by one day, and offer to confirm as soon as the announcement is made.
Students living in halls should tell wardens and flatmates about fasting hours, since shared kitchens are easier to use late at night or before dawn with some agreement.
The 27th night, expected from the evening of Friday 5 March, keeps Newcastle mosques busy until late. Arrange childcare and transport in advance, rest in the afternoon, and take the Metro or a shared lift rather than walking home alone through the cold after midnight.
