Stoke-on-Trent Ramadan 2027 timetable from day 1 to day 29
Stoke-on-Trent begins Ramadan 1448, expected on Monday 8 February 2027, with imsak at 05:33, fajr at 05:43 and sunrise at 07:40. Iftar, the maghrib prayer, is at 17:06 and isha at 18:57. The first fast lasts 11 hours 33 minutes from imsak to iftar, a short winter day in the heart of Staffordshire.
From day 1 to day 29 in the Potteries
Between day 1 and day 29 the Stoke-on-Trent fast gains 112 minutes, 58 at the dawn end and 54 at the dusk end. Day 15, Monday 22 February, runs from imsak at 05:07 to iftar at 17:33, 12 hours 26 minutes; day 29, Monday 8 March, from 04:35 to 18:00, 13 hours 25 minutes.
Sunrise slides from 07:40 to 06:40 over the month and fajr from 05:43 to 04:45. Isha, meanwhile, goes 18:57, 19:22, 19:48, so tarawih ends noticeably later by the final week.
Stoke-on-Trent and London side by side
Londoners break their fast at 17:02 on day 1 and Stoke-on-Trent four minutes later, at 17:06. Imsak is nine minutes later too, 05:33 against 05:24, which leaves the Stoke fast at 11 hours 33 minutes, 5 minutes shorter than London's 11 hours 38 minutes. By day 29 the figures are 13 hours 25 minutes and 13 hours 23 minutes: Stoke's is 2 minutes longer.
Stoke-on-Trent day 15 row and the angles behind it
Day 15 in the Stoke-on-Trent table reads fajr 05:17, sunrise 07:12, iftar 17:33 and isha 19:22. The calculation follows the Muslim World League, with fajr at 18 degrees, isha at 17 degrees and imsak 10 minutes earlier than fajr. A mosque in the Potteries may use different angles or its own calendar, so check which list your community prints.
Week four is the heaviest in the Potteries. Day 29 starts with imsak at 04:35 and ends with iftar at 18:00, 13 hours 25 minutes in all, so a calm suhoor and a light afternoon help. With isha at 19:48, tarawih begins well after dark, a point to settle when arranging lifts between the towns.
Stoke-on-Trent during the fasting month
Stoke-on-Trent is a city of six towns, Tunstall, Burslem, Hanley, Stoke, Fenton and Longton, strung along the upper Trent valley and famous for its pottery. The moorlands of the Peak District rise to the north-east, and February and March bring cool, damp weather with highs near 8 degrees.
The Potteries and daily life
The potteries, including Wedgwood, shaped the towns, and today work is also found in logistics, hospitals, retail and education, with Staffordshire University and nearby Keele University adding students. The Trent and Mersey Canal runs through the city, and Newcastle-under-Lyme lies right next door.
Iftar across the six towns and the key nights
Households in the six towns often invite relatives from Manchester or Birmingham for iftar at weekends, and mosques of the city organise shared meals on some evenings. The first tarawih is expected on Sunday evening, 7 February, the 27th night should start at dusk on Friday 5 March, and Eid al-Fitr is likely on 9 March or, after a thirtieth day, 10 March.
Practical advice for a spread-out city
Distances between the six towns are real, and a tarawih in a mosque across the city may add a long bus ride or drive. Decide early where you will pray, and share transport with neighbours. Dress warmly for moorland winds, and keep dates and water in your bag for the journey home.
Hanley is the commercial centre of the city, with the main bus station and the largest shops, and many people use it as the hub when travelling between towns. Check the last buses home in advance, since services thin out in the evening, and arrange a lift with a neighbour for late tarawih.
- Choose one mosque for tarawih to cut travel between towns.
- Be home for iftar at 17:06 on day 1.
- Dress warmly for damp Staffordshire evenings.
- Ask for Eid leave well before the end of the month.
Which dates and leave should the Potteries plan for in Ramadan?
In the Potteries the same three practical points return every year, and each depends on the crescent and on the community you choose, so it helps to decide early.
Which calendar should I choose in Stoke-on-Trent?
Stoke-on-Trent mosques do not always announce together. Expect Ramadan to begin on Monday 8 February 2027, but some Staffordshire communities calculate while others look for the crescent, so the evening of announcement may differ. Follow the community where you pray, and keep the timetable as a close daily guide.
How long are the fasts in the Potteries mid-month, and is Eid a free day?
Midway through, on Monday 22 February, imsak is at 05:07 and iftar at 17:33, which makes a fast of 12 hours 26 minutes. Employers, schools and colleges in the Potteries stay open on Eid al-Fitr, since the United Kingdom has no bank holiday for it, so ask early. Eid is expected on 9 March, or on 10 March if Ramadan has thirty days.
Eid is only confirmed the night before, so tell your manager or teacher in Stoke that the day you ask for could move by twenty-four hours, and agree how you will be reached.
Staffordshire is not far from the Peak District, but hill walks and long drives are best kept for after Eid rather than done on a fasting afternoon.
In the six towns, the 27th night, expected from the evening of Friday 5 March, often keeps worshippers at the mosque until late. Arrange childcare and transport ahead, rest in the afternoon, and agree who drives whom, as late buses between Hanley, Burslem and Longton are not always frequent.
