Join Our 2026 Pre-Market parkrun Meet-ups!
Are you ready to level up your Saturday morning routine? At Vegan Fairs, we believe that health, community, and incredible food go hand-in-hand. That’s why in 2026, we are making a conscious effort to move more of our markets to Saturdays to coincide with local parkrun events!
Even better? We are officially partnering with one of our favourite groups: Vegan Runners!
A Personal Note from Our Founder
Our founder, Daisy, has been a member of Vegan Runners for two years now. While she’s been sidelined recently (thanks to a poorly knee!), she has been completely won over by the supportive, like-minded community this group provides. It’s not just about the miles; it’s about the people and the shared mission.

What is parkrun?
If you’re new to the concept, parkrun is a free, community-led 5k event where you can walk, jog, run, or even just spectate. They take place every Saturday at 9:00 AM all over the world.
It’s completely free to take part! All you need to do is register on their website to get your personal barcode. Once you finish, your barcode is scanned so you can track your times and progress online.

The "Run then Reward" Philosophy
There is no better motivation to finish a 5k than knowing there is a world-class vegan burger or a decadent artisanal doughnut waiting for you at the finish line. Our markets open at 10am, just as parkrun finishes, making us the perfect post-run "After Party."
Not a Saturday Person?
Don't worry! While we love our parkrun Saturdays, we have plenty of markets planned for Sundays too! You can view our full 2026 event calendar here or use our Vegan Fairs Locator Map to find an event closest to you.
See you at the starting line (and the snack stalls)!
