Get ready for Ramadan with RLAs

Come together and celebrate

Join us for a sweet, creative, and heartfelt event in the lead up to Ramadan. Get hands-on as you decorate your very own dates, perfect for gifting to a friend, loved one, or even as a treat for yourself.

Dates often play an important role in Ramadan during Iftar, as it is common for those observing to break their fasts with dates. You could make these for yourself or others to break fast with, or they can make a wonderful treat or gift to enjoy at any time whilst observing Ramadan this month.

You’ll have a choice of toppings to decorate your dates with, sweet and savoury, to make some truly tasty treats. We’ll have recipes for some favourite combinations, including:

- Choc Chip & Peanut Butter dates

- Cream Cheese & Pistachio dates

- Dark Chocolate & Almond dates

Or use your imagination and create your own combinations! We’ll provide gift-wrap boxes so you can take your creations home and share the love with those observing Ramadan. It’s a great way to spread sweetness, creativity, and care during this important month.

Come for the fun, stay for the treats – and leave with something sweet to gift or enjoy!

Green Park Living Lounge is located on the ground floor of the building, just right of the main entrance and across from the reception. The lounge is accessible with an automatic door and a sloped entrance for wheelchair users. There are a range of seats in the lounge including table seats, sofas, and high seats. There is lots of natural light from the multiple windows along the length of the lounge.

ResLife Ambassadors will be there to welcome you – you’ll be able to recognise them in their light blue RLA hoodies and t-shirts with the ResLife logo on.

This will be a relaxed and welcoming event where you can work at your own pace to create decorated dates in celebration of Ramadan.

RLAs will welcome you and explain the layout of the event and how you can get involved. We’ll provide everything you need to decorate your dates, including kitchen equipment as well as topping options made up of different nuts, melted chocolate, cream cheese, chocolate chips, honey and salt.

You can drop in at any point during the event and make as many or as few dates as you would like, or simply observe and enjoy the atmosphere if you prefer. At the end of the event, you'll be able to take home your creations to gift, share, or enjoy.
