The event was attended by over 100 residents who enjoyed the many stalls on offer. The stalls included hair and beauty, face painting, henna painting, food, toys, clothes and jewellery.

Entertainment was also provided by Spiderman throughout the night.

A Spokesperson for Spotland Girls Group added: “It is satisfying to see such a brilliant turnout, especially when the aim of Spotland Girls Group is to promote togetherness and community spirit which is a big part of Eid.”

The local elected members also agreed that more events such as these should be organised to promote cohesion and diversity
