The BCA Barnes Food Fair, the sister event to BCA’s longstanding Barnes Fair, is now an established event in the SW London foodie calendar
The event takes place in and around a large marquee on Barnes Green. Inside the marquee, there will be a carefully chosen selection of exhibitors selling speciality food and drink to sample and take away. In the outside street food area, you will be able to enjoy freshly cooked food from around the world to enjoy whilst listening to live music playing on the Bandstand all day.
BCA is delighted to be supporting the Barnes Foodbank at this year’s Barnes Food Fair. Part of the Trussell Trust network, this local facility operates out of Castelnau Community Centre on Friday mornings and provides an increasing number of families with emergency provisions and also practical support and advice. Email foodbank@htbarnes.org for details.
Details of 2024 exhibitors are below to give you a flavour of what’s on offer…
EXHIBITORS - Your Food Fair packs have now all been posted. Please contact us at fairs@barnes-ca.org if you have not received your pack by Wednesday 4 September.
GETTING HERE - The Fair is held on Barnes Green, London SW13. Please note that the traffic is heavy in Barnes and the surrounding areas on Food Fair Day. The easiest way to approach Barnes Food Fair is by train to Barnes Station or Barnes Bridge – both are about a 10 minute walk.
CONTRACTORS/EXHIBITORS - Instead of Hammersmith Bridge, you will need to drive over Chiswick Bridge or Putney Bridge to reach Barnes. There is limited parking in the side streets around the Green.
VISITORS – Please note that we are unable to welcome your canine companions into the Fair - dogs will not be admitted.
If you have any further questions, please email Charlotte at Charlotte@barnes-ca.org

The BCA Duck Race, a stalwart of our events calendar, is sadly retiring after ten fun-filled years. Beverley Brook - the home of the race - is now teeming with fish and wildlife - which is great news for all except the BCA ducks!
