Living Islam Festival 2016

Five reasons why your family should be at the Living Islam Festival 2016

1. SPIRITUALITY

Be part of this collective remembrance of God, of His names and His countless favours, of His blessed Messenger, may God bless his soul and grant him peace. Friday prayers offered in the clean fresh air and under the blue country sky with thousands of fellow devotees. Prayers before the break of dawn and prayers beneath the stars. Praying for one another and praying with one another. The Living Islam Festival will, insha’Allah, strengthen your faith, your hope, your confidence and your will. But you’ve got to be there.

2. LEARNING

You can listen to and learn from some of the leading minds in traditional learning and contemporary thought. With keynote speeches in our iconic Big Top, specialist seminars in the world class EPIC Centre - thought provoking workshops and ‘up close’ opportunities for the questions important to you. With over 100 talks and seminars the hardest decision for you will be which ones to go to.

3. FAMILY

A dedicated 0-5 yrs play zone will keep your little ones entertained. The Scouts programme for 6-11 year olds and the focussed teenager programmes will excite and inspire your older ones. We cater for over 1,000 children with over 50 different workshops going on in parallel - the education and enjoyment will be fulfilling and unrivalled. One things for certain your kids won’t be bored!

4. ACTIVITIES

There are many sports activities organised for all ages, men and women: a parachute display, bungee jumping, bouncy castles, horse riding, paintballing, abseiling and archery are all currently planned to name but a few. If high-adrenaline activities are not your cup of tea then you can enjoy arts and crafts. There will also be creative workshops and taster learning sessions by expert artists let your creativity bloom and take home a masterpiece.

5. ENTERTAINMENT & SHOPPING

In the evenings you can relax to our light entertainment with nasheed artists, comedians, poetry readings and a variety of acts from around the world, a little something for everyone. And with over 50 different vendors in the Living Islam Festival Bazaar you will definitely be interested in the variety of offerings.

Being amongst thousands of your brothers and sisters, you may forget the talks and the pony rides, the nasheeds and the fireworks, the stalls and activities but you won't forget the atmosphere!
