Ramadan Tent Project

Who we are

Ramadan Tent Project (RTP) is a UK civic and cultural organisation, founded in 2013 to bring people together across their differences. Its flagship event, Open Iftar, is the UK’s largest cultural and community event during Ramadan: a free, shared meal at sunset, open to everyone, whatever their background, faith, or none.

For over 13 years, Open Iftar has brought over one million people together, at landmark venues across the UK, from Windsor Castle to Trafalgar Square. In 2025, it became the first event of its kind to be held at a royal residence in 1,000 years of history.

Open Iftar

COSARAF Foundation partnered with RTP to host the first ever COSARAF sponsored Open Iftar event at the V&A in London in 2023.  This event saw over 450 guests break fast together in the beautiful Raphael room.

We continued this partnership in 2024, with a second COSARAF sponsored Open Iftar event held on 27th March at SOAS, University of London. Over 250 guests were welcomed into the Atrium of Senate House and broke fast together.

In 2026, COSARAF sponsored RTP’s first Open Iftar hosted at a motorsport venue, Silverstone Circuit, with over 1000 guests coming together to break their fast.
