This extravaganza will provide the ultimate inspiration for vegans, vegetarians, flexitarians, those thinking about going vegan or wanting to include more vegan products in their diet – everyone is welcome.

Vegan Events UK festivals provide a one stop shopping experience where all of your vegan products and services can be found in one place and provide small and family run businesses with a place to promote and sell their products and services.

Local stallholders include Relevance Catering, a family vegan catering company based in West Yorkshire producing traditional Yorkshire bakes, scotch ‘eggs’, pies and sausage rolls as well as cakes and traditional sweet treats.

There are also charities and not-for-profit exhibitors, including Miracle’s Mission, a non-profit animal welfare charity that works with sick, injured and disabled animals worldwide. Its mission is to provide a place of safety for animals in danger, to educate on the needs of neutering both pets and strays and to neuter stray dogs and cats to prevent the birth of more animals onto the streets. It also rehabilitates and re-homes dogs in need, often with disabilities, in the UK.

There is also a stall selling Bo’s Book, a vegan cook book that features simple, easy-to-follow recipes together with beautiful illustrations of dogs from animal welfare charity, Miracle’s Mission. All the profits go to help needy dogs at Miracle's Mission.
