In response to your question sister on the eid’s atmosphere here in the UK. I should say that it differs from a city to another, a big city with large Muslim community would have much more activities with different flavors. But generally speaking, the Eid here will start with zakat donation (£5 per individual for this year) then followed by a sermon (khutbah). Following that, we start socializing over a delicious, provided for free, lunch. Then it is up to people to disperse or stay to pray Zuhur ( in the hall) with children having games program afterwards.
All of these, even though they are sweet, but will never ever reach to Eid at home!
