Vegan festival coming to Greater Manchester Town

A vegan food festival will be taking place in Stockport next year. The festival will feature over 60 fantastic stalls, world food caterers, talks and workshops running throughout the day.

The event is set to go ahead on Sunday 9th February at The Guildhall. Families are welcomed and entry will be free for under-16s.

Festival organiser and founder of Vegan Events UK, Victoria Bryceson says: “I started organising events 10 years ago with the aim of promoting veganism.

"Our events provide people with an ultimate shopping experience where many of your vegan products and services can be found in one place. We provide small and family run businesses with a place to promote and sell their products and services.

"We aim to educate people about what veganism is and to show people how easy, affordable, healthy and varied living a vegan lifestyle can be.”

The Stockport Vegan Festival features over 60 stalls including a huge selection of cooked foods, pies, cakes, chocolates, sandwiches and salads. Furthermore, there will be vendors providing beauty and skincare products, candles, cheeses, jewellery and more.

Among the vendors will be festival regular Miracle’s Mission, which is 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 cookbook 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.
