Stalls
The deadline for stall applications has now passed. We have had more stalls the ever before apply and so it is unlikely that we will be able to fit in any late bookings! If you are an environmental organisation looking to have a stall or run an activity please contact us and we will see whether a space becomes available through cancellation.
Food
The fair offers lots of tasty food from Thai noodles to Indian bhajis, Greek Salad, Jacket potatoes, pankcakes, veggie Burgers, and of course - Ice Cream. We have two new exciting caterers this year offering curry and creol food. There is a café and a bar.
This year we are promoting local sustainable food. Stalls from the Wallington farmers market will also be offering their fine local produce. The Surrey Organic Gardening Group will have homegrown produce for sale, there will be a chance to find out about VegZED - a local organic box scheme.
