The festival consists of a series of vegan stalls, all serving a selection of food and drink from around the world. This is complemented by those selling clothes, cosmetics and accessories, as well as a number of stalls hosted by campaign organisations.

There will several guest speakers engaging with the public and informing them about their work and ideas. It also includes the presentation of educational documentaries on food choices and how they impact on the environment, individual wellbeing and animal welfare.

Veganism is growing in popularity, with increasing numbers of people taking it up the lifestyle, whether for health reasons or as an ethical choice. This event should appeal not only to those who are already vegans, but also to those interested in learning more about it as a lifestyle choice.
