Eid al-Adha will begin on the evening of Tuesday 26th May 2026, with the day of Eid falling on Wednesday 27th May. The three days of Eid will continue until Friday 29th May. It follows the end of the annual Hajj pilgrimage period, and is also known as the “Feast of Sacrifice”. 

Colleagues may be marking the occasion in different ways: attending prayers, visiting family and friends, giving to charity, or simply taking time to pause and reflect. 

However you are observing Eid, we wish you a peaceful, joyful celebration.
