An Eid Summer Fair will bring street food and family activities to Forster Square this Saturday with the hope of boosting 'The Brown Pound' economy.

The fair, open from 11am to 5pm, has been organised by The Yorkshire Asian Business Association (YABA) in partnership with Forster Square, Fever FM and the Yorkshire County Cricket Club.

It comes after the highly successful Eats from the Streets event held last year with food stalls, henna tattoo, information stalls and an area sponsored by the Yorkshire County Cricket Club for kids.

The Penny Appeal will also be bringing their literacy bus where kids can make father’s day cards.

The Ramadan economy in the UK is worth at least £200 million.

Supermarket chains are increasingly gearing products, displays and special offers on popular food items to areas with significant Muslim populations.

Sharon Jandu, director of YABA, said: "The Brown Pound, is seen as valuable and largely an untapped opportunity in the UK economy.

"What is incredible is that Muslims in Britain contribute £31 billion to the economy every year, and they have spending power overall of £21 billion, making up a diverse and increasingly affluent part of British society, the new generation of Muslims are consuming products and brands differently."

The month-long Muslim religious observance starts in mid-May and its ending is marked with the Eid al-Fitr holiday.

The global Islamic economy is forecast to be worth more than £3 trillion by 2021, according to the State of the Global Islamic Economy report.

The report said it is growing at nearly double the rate of the general worldwide economy.

The sector includes halal food, Islamic finance, halal travel, modest fashion, halal media and recreation, and halal pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
