We would like to say a huge thank you to Beeches Track Squad for their donation of £470 to support Ecolocal’s inclusive cycling project.

This all came about as a result of Beeches Track Squad finishing in 3rd place at the River Relay organised by Stragglers Running Club.

Beeches Track Squad are a local free running group based in Carshalton Beeches for runners looking to improve their times. The team members were Tony Payne, Mary James, Bryn Reynolds, Gaby Reynolds and Daniel Gaffney. For more details on Beeches Track Squad please contact their Chair Bryn Reynolds at brynreynolds1@hotmail.com.

The River Relay is a baton relay run over 5 stages from Boveney to Bushy Park organised by The Stragglers RC with over £3,000 donated to charities nominated by the leading teams this year. The Stragglers RC are a friendly, community-minded running club founded in 1981 based in Bushy Park, where hundreds of runners gather each week - for more details see https://www.stragglers.org/

Ecolocal’s inclusive cycling project offers a wide range of accessible cycles suitable for all abilities and disabilities. We have side-by-side cycles for cycling with a companion, wheelchair cycles, accessible trikes, hand cycles, recumbents, go-carts and more! We also have a wide range of two wheelers for those who would like to regain cycling confidence. Our friendly cycle instructors are on hand to help you take it at your own pace. EcoLocal is a charity and does not receive regular funding for the ongoing costs of running these sessions. So we are very grateful to Beeches Track Squad for their support 🙂

If you are also able to support us by making an additional donation to help with our running costs, please get in touch - please email cycling@ecolocal.org.uk

Perhaps the stage is not for you, but you still fancy joining the spectacle? You are most welcome to don your finest fancy dress, turn up on the day and promenade around the fair in character. Victorian dress, old-fashioned hats, festive finery and wonderfully imaginative creations will all help bring a little extra magic to Carshalton.

HEAR YE, HEAR YE—A CALL TO LOCAL PERFORMERS!

Would you like to bring your talents to the Carshalton Frost Fair?

On Saturday 5th December 2026, from 1pm to 6pm, our much-loved fair returns to the picturesque setting of Carshalton Ponds. We are seeking merry performers of all kinds to help fill the afternoon with music, dancing and good cheer.

The fair has two performance areas: an amplified stage and a separate choir and demonstration area. We would be delighted to hear from:

• Choirs and singing groups
• Street dancers and dance groups
• Morris, folk and other traditional dance sides
• Acoustic musicians and small musical groups
• Family entertainers
• Unusual, creative and curious acts

Perhaps the stage is not for you, but you still fancy joining the spectacle? You are most welcome to don your finest fancy dress, turn up on the day and promenade around the fair in character. Victorian dress, old-fashioned hats, festive finery and wonderfully imaginative creations will all help bring a little extra magic to Carshalton.

All performances should be suitable for a family audience and in keeping with the friendly, traditional spirit of the Frost Fair. Loud rock bands and other high-volume acts would, we fear, be better suited to another gathering!

All who take part do so as volunteers. The Frost Fair is brought to life by a wonderful band of volunteers, and our performers play a very special part in making the occasion memorable for the whole community.

If you or your merry troupe would like to be considered, pray complete our short performer application form:

Please spread the word far and wide—or tag a talented local performer who might wish to join the festivities!

Whether you have a large garden, a small plot, a balcony or just a few pots, you’ll find useful suggestions for creating a more colourful and welcoming space for bees, butterflies and other wildlife.

The talk will be presented by Sarah Foss, whose talks are always enjoyable and informative.

Garden Hall, Honeywood Walk, Carshalton SM5 3NX

There’s no need to book, so simply come along. Your entry fee includes tea, coffee and biscuits. Arrive circa 7.20pm for a 7.30pm start. Limited parking on site - see link below.

While you’re here, why not take a quick look at our secret Walled Garden too?

TODAY’S THE DAY!

Carshalton Park is ready. Come for an hour. Stay for the day. Your support really does help keep community events like this happening.

The stages are waiting. The food is cooking. More than 120 stalls are opening and our volunteers are in place.

Now all that’s missing is you.

Come and spend Bank Holiday Monday at the EcoFair – with live music, fantastic food, crafts, children’s activities, community organisations, environmental inspiration and a whole park to explore.

Events like the EcoFair happen because communities come out and support them – whatever the British Bank Holiday weather decides to do! So bring a sunhat, a brolly, or quite possibly both, and come and be part of it.

Open today, 10.30am–8pm, Carshalton Park.
