London Vegan Fayre

The London Vegan Fayre is a one-day vegan fair held in early December, and it is the closest thing London has to a vegan Christmas market. It is not a traditional market with wooden huts and mulled wine. It is an indoor show with over 100 stalls, talks and presentations, and it is pitched firmly at seasonal gift shopping. In 2026 it runs on Saturday 5 December at Kensington Town Hall on Hornton Street, W8, in West London.

The fully vegan line-up covers the things people actually buy before Christmas: vegan food and treats, chocolates and sweets, drinks, cruelty-free cosmetics and skincare, clothes, accessories, books and gifts from independent brands and charities. The talks and presentations add a bit of substance on top, so it works as a day out for people who want to learn something as well as shop. Because it is a single day, it gets busy around midday, so go early or late if you prefer more space at the stalls. It is organised by VegfestUK, which also runs the larger Vegfest shows around the country.

Opening hours are 10:00 to 18:00. A ticket costs GBP 8 plus a booking fee in advance or GBP 10 on the door, and under-16s go free, so it makes sense to book online. Being indoors means the weather does not matter. The town hall sits near High Street Kensington underground station, which is about a ten-minute walk away, and Kensington Gardens are close by if you want some fresh air between stalls. Allow a few hours, because over 100 stalls take longer to get through than they look.

If you are building a vegan Advent weekend in the capital, pair this with the festive markets and shops around Kensington, or combine it with a trip west to Bristol on 12 December for a true Christmas market.
