The religious festival is the second of the two Eid festivals in the Islamic calendar.
Eid al-Adha follows Eid al-Fitr, which took place in May to mark the breaking of the fast.
Eid al-Adha coincides with Hajj, an annual pilgrimage to Mecca.
Millions of people usually make the pilgrimage, but due to the coronavirus numbers are more limited.
It is the first first religious holiday since the easing of lockdown restrictions earlier this week, with people able to celebrate in larger numbers.
Earlier today, an estimated crowd of about 2,500 people attended a prayer ceremony held in the fields of Kingsway School in Stockport, which had been organised by the Cheadle Masjid mosque.
Eid al-Adha, or Festival of Sacrifice, is one of the most important festivals in the Muslim calendar. It follows the end of the annual Hajj pilgrimage.
The festival marks the time when Ibrahim had a dream which he believed was a message from Allah, asking him to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience.
As Ibrahim was about to kill his son, Allah is said to have given him a lamb to sacrifice instead.
Coronavirus restrictions were still in place during Eid al-Fitr in May, which marks the end of the Holy month of Ramadan.
