Head to Centenary Square to explore this striking new structure, a showpiece of creative art and design celebrating the lived experiences of Muslims across the globe and inspired by the month of Ramadan.
Infinite Light is the second edition of the Ramadan Pavilion, a specially commissioned structure that celebrates the holy month of Ramadan – and this year, the Pavilion is presented for the first time in Bradford.
The biennial Pavilion is commissioned by Ramadan Tent Project and Bradford 2025 as part of Ramadan Festival 2025 in Bradford, and designed by artist Zarah Hussain and Bradford-based FAUM’s Lead Designer Fatima Mejbil. It was unveiled in Centenary Square on Saturday 15 February, and you can visit for free throughout Ramadan.
The Ramadan Pavilion celebrates the lived experiences of Muslims across the UK and around the globe, bringing attention to the intersection of the core values and traditions of Ramadan through architectural expression and experimentation.
This year’s Pavilion is a double-archway structure that draws on diverse architectural traditions: from the elegant colonnaded courtyards often seen in sacred and civic spaces, such as those surrounding the holy sanctuary at Mecca, to the pointed and ornate forms of Venetian Gothic architecture, as seen in Bradford’s own City Hall.
Uniting the architectural language of Bradford’s Victorian heritage with the sacred geometry of Islamic design, the Ramadan Pavilion 2025 is a striking space that resonates with the city’s diverse communities. Explore it during Ramadan in Centenary Square.
