Organised by Vegan Events UK, the festival will feature 60 stalls offering street food, beauty products, ethical fashion, and more.

“Sample world street food from around the globe. Discover local and artisan produce. Explore sustainable lifestyle choices. Shop for cruelty-free beauty. Find ethical fashion treasures. Connect with like-minded people. Visit expert talks on vegan lifestyle and nutrition. And browse 60 incredible stalls.”
Among the stallholders will be Taff’s Well-based Lilith Natural Beauty.
Run by a mother-and-daughter team, the business specialises in 100 per cent natural, vegan skincare and home fragrance products.
