On March 29, 2005 icSurreyOnline reported, "Witches in Sutton claim they are being discriminated against after they were refused a stall at an Environmental Fair. They claim the organisers have banned them on account of their Wicca religion, and that the popular misconception of witchcraft is to blame. The Children of Artemis, a London-based organisation promoting witchcraft, says ignorance and fear have led to their exclusion from the fair in Carshalton Park. A spokesman for The Children of Artemis said: 'As far we are concerned this is discrimination.' The annual event, organised by the Environmental Fair Collective (EFC), promotes vegetarianism and vegan lifestyles. It has been held in Carshalton for the past 14 years and attracts thousands of visitors each August. The EFC says that it has maintained a policy of not inviting faith healers or witchcraft-related stallholders."
