Eid @ Ewood returns!

Blackburn Rovers are proud to announce that the club, once again, will be opening the doors at Ewood Park to our Muslim community to host the Eid-Ul-Adha prayer on Saturday July 9th. 

The Eid-Ul-Adha prayers will take place at 9.30am prompt and we ask all those attending to arrive no later than 9am, as we are expecting to attract over 3,000 guests.

‘Eid @ Ewood Park’ is open to people and families of all ages, with provisions in place for both men and women to pray on the pitch. Those who attend are asked to bring their own prayer mat with them.

There is no need to register, but people are asked to arrive by 9am at the latest. Turnstiles will open at 8.30am.

As an emergency, Rovers will have a couple of toilets available, but the club would appreciate it if people could come prepared, having performed ablution (ceremonial self-washing) from home.

Those needing to pray on a chair or wheelchair will be catered for, but guests are also asked to bring their own fold-up chair if possible and respect that chairs will not be allowed on the pitch.

Shoes, prams, chairs and footballs will not be permitted on the pitch and we ask all those attending to ensure they follow the guidelines set on the day.

In the event of rain, the event will be cancelled. Please follow Rovers’ social media platforms for updates on Eid @ Ewood Park.
