The 2026 EcoFair will be held on Bank Holiday Monday 31st August.

Please note, you do not need to apply if you attended the event in 2025. Stall pitches are in high demand so we will not be able to meet all requests for stall pitches and we need to ensure a diversity of stall types appropriate to our events/market.
This is a fundraising event for the charity EcoLocal and everyone involved in running the event and taking part as performer does so as a volunteer.
Starts 10:30am and ends 8pm in Carshalton Park, Ruskin Road, Carshalton, Surrey. Please share details on social media.
We’re aiming—quite confidently, but without making a fuss—to make this the very best EcoFair in South London and Surrey. You know, the sort of event people mention later with a little nod, as if to say, “Oh yes, that was a good day.”
This year we’ve got three solar-powered stages (very impressive, very forward-thinking) with live music throughout—so there’s always something going on, even if you’ve just popped over for a quick look and somehow stayed three hours.
There’ll be over 100 stalls, which sounds a lot because it is a lot. You can wander about at your own pace, discovering eco-projects, artisan crafts, and all sorts of clever things you didn’t know you needed but suddenly feel you might.
Food-wise, you’ll be very well looked after. Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, hot and cold, and the sort of things that make you say, “Ooh, I’ll just try that.” There’s also a fabulous bar, for those who like something a bit refreshing while they’re having a sit down.
For children, there are activities to keep them happily occupied, along with demonstrations and things to watch and join in with. And to make life that bit easier, there’s even a free electric bus to bring you to the event—no fuss, no bother.
Whatever your age or what you’re interested in, there should be something to catch your eye and give you a little lift. There’s plenty to see, hear, do, learn about and, of course, taste.
All in all, it’s a lovely day out—just the sort of thing you’ll be glad you came to.
The following is from the 2025 event: Admission – Affordable, Local & Worth It
We’ve worked hard to keep Carshalton EcoFair 2025 affordable for everyone — and we think it offers amazing value for a day out right here in the heart of the community.
This isn’t a big commercial event — it’s run by volunteers, and every penny raised goes towards putting on the EcoFair and supporting EcoLocal’s charitable work across the local area.
We know times are tough, so we’ve kept prices low — especially for families and those on lower incomes — while still offering a fantastic mix of music, food, entertainment, and activities.
Here’s what you need to know:
Children under 12 – FREE
Adults (18+) – £10
Young people (12–17) – £8
Adults on low income – £8
Family discounts:
• Two adults & two or three teens (12–17): £32
• One adult & two or three teens (12–17): £24
No advance tickets needed — just turn up on the day!
Your support helps keep this event going strong and funds local eco projects, from community gardening and inclusive cycling to wellbeing and food-growing schemes.
Thank you for being part of it — and for supporting something so rooted in Carshalton.
EcoFair is organised by local charity EcoLocal which is a non-profit organisation full of volunteers who put their time and energy into developing activities and resources for the local community. The event costs the charity well over £25,000 of up-front costs to put on. There are no staff costs in running the event, it is run entirely by volunteers. So as a small local charity we need to raise the cash to fund the EcoFair.
We aim to raise funds for our activities supporting people with disabilities or experiencing mental health issues or who are isolated, to participate in community life through outdoor eco projects. Our eco-wellbeing, gardening, food-growing and inclusive cycling sessions make a huge difference to people’s physical and mental health. They increase social interaction and connection with nature and are good for the environment, helping people take action to participate in community and environmental projects. Any surplus funds raised after covering event costs this year will be put toward the cost of these activities again.
