Vegan festivals

The Leicester vegan fair preview

October 25, 2016

The vegan fair is coming to Leicester in November and will be held at the Fullhurst Community College this time rather than the covered market, but is sure to be a hit again if the previous two markets are anything to go by.

Below is a list of the vendors who have confirmed their stalls so far. This is just a preliminary list at the moment, as there are other stalls currently in the process of being confirmed. Please check back in as I’ll continue to update this as and when they are announced. You can also check out my review of the first vegan market and the second vegan market to get an idea of the types of things that will be on offer.
