Ramadan 2027 times in Sheffield from imsak to iftar
In Sheffield, the timetable for the first day of Ramadan, expected on Monday 8 February 2027, gives imsak at 05:30 and iftar at 17:02, a fast of 11 hours 32 minutes. By day 15, on Monday 22 February, imsak has moved to 05:04 and iftar to 17:30, so the fast lasts 12 hours 26 minutes. At the end of the month, on Monday 8 March, Sheffield's imsak is 04:32 and iftar 17:56, giving a fast of 13 hours 24 minutes.
What the Sheffield 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 07:39 and isha at 18:54, while on day 29 isha has moved to 19:46. Compared with London, iftar in Sheffield on day 1 comes at exactly the same minute as London, at 17:02 against 17:02. Day 29 brings Sheffield within 3 minutes of London, with iftar at 17:56 against 17:53.
Over the month the fast in Sheffield grows by 112 minutes between day 1 and day 29: imsak comes 58 minutes earlier and iftar 54 minutes later. The change is steady rather than sudden, so you will feel the days lengthen week by week as the Sheffield sunset moves from 17:02 toward 17:56. Sunrise follows the same rhythm, shifting from 07:39 on day 1 to 07:10 on day 15 and 06:38 on day 29, while isha moves from 18:54 to 19:19 and then 19:46, which also pushes tarawih later into the evening.
Why the Sheffield mosque calendar matters
Sheffield's figures follow the Muslim World League method, in which fajr is calculated at 18 degrees and isha at 17 degrees, and imsak is simply fajr minus ten minutes. The mosques on the hills of Sheffield may work with different angles or their own margins. Sheffield's mosques are well spread across the city, and each publishes its own timetable. Keep to the calendar of the mosque you attend most, and compare its imsak with the 05:30 calculated here for day 1. The month is expected to start on Monday 8 February 2027, which only the sighting of the crescent can confirm.
Ramadan in Sheffield: weather, daily life and iftar
Sheffield is built across hills where the rivers Don and Sheaf meet, on the edge of the Peak District, and its slopes make winter walks colder and windier than the city centre suggests. In February and early March frost and sleet are possible, and sunrise comes at 07:39 on day 1. The steel heritage of the city is still visible in its industrial valleys.
Daily life and iftar in Sheffield
Sheffield's two universities and its hospitals bring many young adults and shift workers into the city, and the steep streets shape daily routines. People who fast often cut down on walking uphill at midday and keep errands for after sunset. Families in neighbourhoods such as Sharrow and Burngreave tend to gather at home for iftar, then walk to the mosque for prayer.
Iftar plates in South Yorkshire usually start with dates, then soup and a hot dish that suits the Peak District cold. Hosts often prepare extra food for neighbours and students. First tarawih: the Sunday evening, 7 February, expected. The 27th night: the evening of Friday 5 March, expected.
Practical advice for fasting in Sheffield
Practical advice is simple. Sheffield's hills make a long walk feel harder when fasting, so plan routes with fewer climbs, wear layers against the Peak District wind, and take the bus when the weather is poor. Going to bed early after the night prayer protects the hours that matter before the pre-dawn meal. On day 15 the fast in Sheffield lasts 12 hours 26 minutes, which is long enough to reward some planning of meals and appointments. Should Ramadan run for 29 days, Eid al-Fitr falls on Tuesday 9 March 2027; after 30 days, it falls on Wednesday 10 March.
- Choose routes with fewer steep hills during the day.
- Wear layers against the wind from the Peak District.
- Keep errands for after iftar when possible.
- Follow one mosque calendar for the whole month.
Which Ramadan 2027 calendar should I follow in Sheffield?

The calculated timetable gives imsak at 05:30 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 Sheffield?
Is Eid a day off, and how do I manage work or study in Sheffield? In Sheffield, workplaces and universities keep normal hours, so speak to your manager or tutor early about leaving at sunset. Eid is not a bank holiday, so book leave ahead if you want to attend the morning prayer. Because the 27th night is due on the evening of Friday 5 March, put it in the diary now; the last ten nights tend to mean extended prayers and less rest.
