I have been fortunate enough to be invited to share in the Eid celebration with a Muslim family and would like to know if there is anything I should know so I don't embarrass myself or worse cause offence. Is there any etiquette that I should know? Should I bring a gift and if so what should that be.
Basically any information would be much appreciated.

Why not ask the people who invited you? It would certainly be an interesting event. There might be more here to help

when is EID ?
Whatever you do, don't take a bottle, or pork scratchings.
You could take a food offering. I`d probably go for some baklava in a nice box.
There are two "Eids". Eid Ul Fitr, which is often referred to as “Little Eid”, marks the end of Ramadan and was on 28th July this year.

Eid Ul Adha, known as “Big Eid”, is a festival which celebrates the Prophet Ibrahim’s obedience to God. This year it is tomorrow (October 4th).
This is Eid-ul-Adha, often after Hajj (pilgrimage) rather than Eid-ul-Fitr which follow Ramadan. So slightly different if you are looking it up.
Being a Muslim, I would say that you do not have to do anything special. If you were coming to my home then I would say that your presence is all we need. That is what islam says but people may think and do things differently depending upon what part of the world they are from. so perhaps a box of chocolate or Asian Sweets would do. And be ready to eat lot of food.
... and have a wonderful time!

I take back any and all previous comments, by me, to the effect that it's one better than having a lion's jaws clamped around the windpipe. At least lions get the whole thing over with in under three minutes (including the chase).

To be fair, the rest of the world probably despatched their livestock in exactly this way until the 19th century.
