Ramadan Streets returned to Birmingham for its second year, inviting people of all backgrounds to come together for a five-day cultural night market celebrating the spirit, community and shared experience of Ramadan. It took place from Wednesday 4th March to Sunday 8th March 2026, the event ran daily from dusk until 11.30pm in an open-air setting on the Coventry Road, Birmingham.

Following the success of its inaugural year the event was supported by Birmingham City Football Club Foundation and was hosted on BCFC grounds.Once again Ramadan Streets transformed an empty car park into a vibrant, souk-like environment where communities gathered to break their fast, share food, and experience the cultural richness of Ramadan.

At Soul City Arts, we harness the power of creativity to connect communities and inspire change. Our wide-ranging program includes immersive art installations, community events that spark dialogue, and live performances that call on us to reflect on our own narratives. – using art as a force for transformation and connection.

Why has an arts organisation delivered a food market, you may wonder?  We chose to take on this challenge as we feel strongly in our communities being presented in the best form. Receiving an unprecedented response from the public, we had to bring the concept back. We are storytellers and use the arts to present in incredible ways.  Delivering Ramadan Streets, we felt would be a unique opportunity, not just to create an experience around food, but to bring people together through this cultural experience.

The Halal Food Festival partnered with us to delivery Ramadan Streets in 2025 and joined as partners once again. They brought their expertise to collaborate with our artistic vision for a second time 

Dining together is something that binds us all and our community loves eating out.  We see this as an opportunity to bring people together over a shared love of food.

Coventry Road

Coventry Road in Small Heath is commonly known for being the home of Birmingham City Football Club. It is also the territory of the real life Peaky Blinders from the early 1900s.

But for many British Muslims the area is now well known as being a vibrant hub of culture and food.  During Ramadan, the area comes to life as families and friends gather to break their fast, with mosques and eateries filled with people sharing in the spirit of the month. There was no better location than Coventry Road in 2025, and for this year it had to be the same.

Coventry Road is the perfect setting for a night market that brings together street food, art, and community, while we stay true to Birmingham staying on Coventry Road, we are bringing Ramadan Streets to an all new location.
