Plymouth Ramadan 2027 timetable from day 1 to day 29
Plymouth begins Ramadan 1448, expected on Monday 8 February 2027, with imsak at 05:40, fajr at 05:50 and sunrise at 07:41. Iftar, the maghrib prayer, is at 17:21 and isha at 19:06. The first fast lasts 11 hours 41 minutes from imsak to iftar, in the far south-west of England.
Plymouth's western clock, from day 1 to day 29
At the start, Plymouth fasts 11 hours 41 minutes; on Monday 22 February, day 15, imsak is at 05:17 and iftar at 17:46, which gives 12 hours 29 minutes; on Monday 8 March, day 29, imsak is at 04:48 and iftar at 18:09, for 13 hours 21 minutes. The month adds 100 minutes, 52 at dawn and 48 at dusk.
Sunrise slips from 07:41 to 07:15 and 06:46, and isha from 19:06 to 19:28 and 19:52. Plymouth lies well to the west of London, which is why the whole day sits later on the clock.
Plymouth set beside London
Plymouth sits far to the west, so the whole day starts later on the clock: imsak on day 1 is at 05:40 against 05:24 in London, 16 minutes later, and iftar at 17:21 against 17:02, 19 minutes later. The Plymouth fast of 11 hours 41 minutes is thus 3 minutes longer than London's 11 hours 38 minutes, and on day 29 its 13 hours 21 minutes is 2 minutes shorter than London's 13 hours 23 minutes.
Plymouth's columns from fajr to isha
For Plymouth, day 15 gives fajr 05:27, sunrise 07:15, iftar 17:46 and isha 19:28. The Muslim World League method sits behind them, with 18 degrees for fajr, 17 for isha and imsak set 10 minutes ahead of fajr. Plymouth mosques may use other angles or a local calendar, so the list of the mosque you attend should win any disagreement.
The last stretch is the hardest. Day 29 begins with imsak at 04:48 and ends with iftar at 18:09, a fast of 13 hours 21 minutes. A quiet afternoon and an unhurried suhoor help. Isha at 19:52 pushes tarawih late, which matters when school or work starts early the next morning.
Plymouth during the fasting month
Plymouth stands on Plymouth Sound between the mouths of the Tamar and the Plym, with Dartmoor rising to the north and Cornwall just across the Tamar. Winters are mild and wet, with highs around 9 degrees in February and March and frequent Atlantic showers.
A naval city and a university city
Devonport dockyard is one of the largest naval bases in western Europe, and the Hoe, the Barbican and Royal William Yard recall the maritime past, including the Mayflower departure of 1620. The University of Plymouth and its medical school give the city many students, and ferries sail from the port to Roscoff and Santander.
Iftar in the South West and the dates that matter
Families break the fast with dates and water at home, and mosques of the city may hold shared meals on some evenings. Expect the first tarawih on the evening of Sunday 7 February, the start of the 27th night at sunset on Friday 5 March, and Eid al-Fitr on 9 March or 10 March, depending on the crescent.
Practical advice for an isolated city
Plymouth is a long way from other large cities, so family gatherings often mean long train or road journeys, which are better avoided on fasting days. Rain arrives quickly from the Atlantic, so carry a waterproof layer, and keep dates and water with you when travelling from Dartmoor or Cornwall.
The Hoe and the Barbican are pleasant for a short walk after iftar, with views over the Sound, but the wind can be strong. Wrap up well, keep the longer walks on Dartmoor for after Ramadan, and take care on wet slipways and steps near the harbour.
- Carry a waterproof coat for Atlantic showers.
- Plan your day around iftar at 17:21 on day 1.
- Avoid long train trips on fasting afternoons.
- Request Eid leave early with your employer.
Which start date and which Eid leave for Plymouth?
Plymouth residents most often ask three things: which calendar to use, how heavy mid-month feels and whether Eid is a day off, and the crescent decides much of it.
Which calendar should Plymouth follow?
In the South West the start of Ramadan may be announced on different evenings: expect Monday 8 February 2027, but one Plymouth mosque may calculate while another waits for a sighting. Use the list of the community you belong to, and read the timetable as a close daily guide.
What length is the fast halfway through in Plymouth, and who gets Eid off?
At mid-month, Monday 22 February, the fast lasts 12 hours 29 minutes, between imsak at 05:17 and iftar at 17:46. Eid al-Fitr is an ordinary working day across the United Kingdom, so ask your employer, school or university for leave early. Expect Eid on Tuesday 9 March after 29 days, or on Wednesday 10 March after 30.
Plymouth tutors and managers should hear that Eid is fixed only the evening before, so your request may have to move by one day; say so when you ask.
Students at the University of Plymouth can talk to their halls about shared kitchens, so that suhoor before imsak and the evening meal run smoothly.
Worshippers who stay late on the 27th night, from the evening of Friday 5 March, should arrange transport and childcare, rest in the afternoon, and agree who drives whom, since families living across the Tamar or near Dartmoor have longer journeys home.
