The London Vegan Fayre returns to Kensington Town Hall on Saturday 5 December 2026, and tickets are on sale now at £8 plus a booking fee. A buy one get one free offer runs through October. Children under 16 are admitted free. Organised by VegfestUK, the show runs from 10am to 6pm at Hornton Street, London W8 7NX.
Organisers expect up to 1,500 people for a seasonal day of food, shopping and entertainment. The event takes in a Main Hall marketplace, a vegan food foyer and a main stage for performances, celebrity interviews and presentations, plus two talks rooms on plant-based lifestyles and on animal rights and activism. It follows last December’s edition at the same venue, which also opened with an early two for one ticket offer.
After the October offer ends on 31 October, a buy one, get one half price deal runs through November. Advance tickets then go to full price from 1 December. Door tickets are £10, subject to availability. Tickets are on sale through the VegfestUK website. Kensington High Street Tube is about two minutes from the hall, and paid parking is available under the venue. Dogs are not permitted.
“Expect lots of food including options with a seasonal twist, some truly outstanding artisan plant-based food providers and an emphasis on fun, food, entertainment and enjoyment as much as anything,” organisers said. “It’s a great time of year to gather and celebrate the best of the vegan way of life, great company, some fabulous stalls, excellent gift ideas coupled with inspiration, education and an uplifting energy at just the right time before the holiday season kicks in.” They said everyone is welcome, from long term vegans to people completely new to the lifestyle, and that many visitors leave with a favourable impression of plant-based options, with some making significant lifestyle changes afterwards.
Names booked to speak or perform include world record holder and entrepreneur Heather Mills, and international singer Gemma Doyle. Sean Gifford, the new CEO of Animal Aid, will join compere and host Karin Ridgers for a chat, and the recently formed Vegan Womens Club will close the stage at the end of the day. Around 15 talks are also planned, including plant-based diets for companion animals, the power of medicinal mushrooms, food security in the UK, and vegan strongman Carlos Barbon on how to build and maintain muscle on a plant-based diet.
The Animal Rights and Activism room includes Sue Joyce from Little Green Pigeon, Dr Arielle Griffiths from Just Be Kind Dog and Cat Food, which is also sponsoring the show, Dr Ishani Rao with “Choosing Compassion: Surviving Burnout in Vegan Activism”, and Simon Russell, chair of the Hunt Sabs Association. The Plant Based Lifestyles room has Juliette Bryant of All You Need Superfoods on mushrooms and food security, presentations from the Plant Based Treaty and Plant Based Schools, and Plant Based Susy with “The Health Plan You Can Afford”. The wider programme is on the London Vegan Fayre page.
The food foyer will host 12 street food caterers and artisan producers, within a show of more than 100 traders. Confirmed names include Chappers Cheesecake, No Moo Bakes, Teatime Collective, Vegan Sweet Tooth, Bite, Gillie Foods, Joys Caribbean Fusion, Monkeys Munchies and Kuljots Kitchen, with drinks from Master Coffee Co and Seijaku Matcha, and handmade items such as Happy Sprout quiche. The trader list is on the VegfestUK website.
The event is sponsored by Animal Aid, which marks its 50th anniversary in 2026. The charity will run a stall, host talks and discussions, and admit members free for a get together before Christmas. “Animal Aid are excited to be returning to the London Vegan Fayre 2026 and proud to be supporting the event as sponsors once again,” said Michelle Masterton-Smith, head of campaigns and communications at Animal Aid. “It’s one of the events we look forward to most, bringing together an inspiring community dedicated to positive change for animals. For us, it’s a fantastic opportunity to connect with supporters, reach new audiences and be part of the energy and enthusiasm that make Vegfest such a special event year after year.” Other sponsors are Just Be Kind Dog and Cat Food, Vegan Accountants, Mad Promotions, Yaoh Hemp Products and Out of Hand.
