Celebrating our 25th Christmas Fayre at Kensington Town Hall, on Sunday 3rd December, Animal Aid has a wonderful cruelty-free party planned with plenty of cake, chocolate, comedy and creativity.
At the longest-running event of its kind, visitors can enjoy the special blend of animal charities and ethical companies, award-winning comedy, inspiring talks, a brilliant cookery demonstration, and also the opportunity to create exclusive festive gifts with the lovely people at Lush Cosmetics.
The huge range of cruelty-free items on offer at the Fayre, ensures visitors can do all their shopping in one place – from vegan beers, dairy-free cheeses, chocolate and cake heaven, to animal-friendly clothing, cruelty-free toiletries, artwork and so much more. And they can support the vital work of campaign groups and sanctuaries helping captive and wild animals in the UK or abroad.
Animal Aid is delighted to welcome award-winning comedian Dave Chawner to the Fayre’s events theatre with his show ‘C’est La Vegan’.

Throughout the day there will be prize-draws with sumptuous hampers donated by celebrity supporters and ethical companies! For families there are children’s workshops and a crèche. Four cafés will offer visitors a gorgeous selection of vegan food and new this year is the Coffee & Cheese café.
Animal Aid Director, Isobel Hutchinson said:
‘The Christmas Fayre is a wonderful and uplifting event, a chance for visitors to shop for cruelty-free gifts, support animal charities and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere. This year we are especially excited to join forces with Lush Cosmetics – building the unique and colourful Lush Zone where people can create their own festive bath bombs for free.’
