Hide AdMuseum director Sue Shave said: “Bucks County Museum was delighted to welcome our Muslim community and to share in their special celebrations in our wonderful walled garden.
“We were so pleased that many other members of the local community also joined us to show their support for creating united communities that value and celebrate each other.
“It was such a privilege to be a part of our community coming together in this way.”
The museum is also hosting a celebrating communities event on June 15 and later in the summer an Eid Fayre on August Bank Holiday (in partnership with Aylesbury Town Council).
