In the spirit of Ramadan, the month of hospitality and sharing, we are hosting our fourth annual Open Family Iftar at the RAF Museum Midlands on Saturday 28 February 2026. It is an afternoon and evening of fun STEM activities and more in our Test Flight and War in the Air Hangars, as well as friendship and conversation across faiths and cultures. Learn about Ramadan and witness or join in the Muslim call to prayer. We will all come together to break the fast enjoying some delicious food.
The event is free for all to attend, for those of all faiths or none. Ticket spaces are limited and it is essential you pre-book your ticket to attend.
