Whether you're looking for practical inspiration, unique gifts or simply want to explore, there's plenty to discover.  Our food village offers a wide choice of delicious refreshments, including vegetarian and vegan options, along with hot and cold food throughout the day. The licensed bar is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the entertainment.  Families are well catered for, with children's activities, demonstrations, interactive displays and hands-on experiences taking place across the site.

Why Your Support Matters
Carshalton EcoFair is organised by EcoLocal, a practical and entrepreneurial local charity that brings people together to create healthier places, stronger communities and a better environment by developing community assets that benefit local people for generations to come.
For almost forty years, EcoLocal has been helping people improve the places where they live through practical environmental action. We believe that when people come together to restore nature, care for local heritage, learn new skills, support local businesses and volunteer in their community, they create places where both people and nature can thrive.
EcoFair is one of the many ways we make this happen. It celebrates everything that makes our local area special—its people, organisations, creativity, heritage and commitment to a more sustainable future. Every year it brings together thousands of visitors, over 120 exhibitors, local charities, community groups, musicians, artists and businesses for a day that inspires people to get involved and make a positive difference.
Although EcoFair is delivered entirely by volunteers, it costs EcoLocal over £27,000 each year to put on. There are no staffing costs associated with running the event, but significant expenditure is required to provide the infrastructure, entertainment and facilities needed to create a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.
Any surplus generated by the EcoFair is reinvested directly into EcoLocal's charitable work across the local area. This includes inclusive cycling for disabled people, eco-wellbeing activities, community gardening, food-growing projects, environmental volunteering and practical horticultural training. Together, these activities help reduce isolation, improve physical and mental wellbeing, develop skills, strengthen communities and encourage people to play an active role in caring for their local environment.
By attending Carshalton EcoFair, you're doing much more than enjoying a great day out. You're helping to create places where people, nature and communities can thrive together, while supporting a charity that is investing in the long-term future of our local area.
