Stockport boasts an impressive array of delicious plant-based menus and an ever-growing vegan community. This weekend, animal welfare charity Viva! are returning to the city in celebration of all things vegan!
Building on the roaring success of last year, Viva! is returning to the fantastic city of Stockport with their Stockport Viva! Vegan Festival. Taking place on Saturday 29 June, the festival will celebrate all that veganism has to offer from local traders and nationwide retailers.
Located in the outstanding Cheshire Conference and Events Centre, the vegan festival is home to over 60 stalls each offering unique vegan delights. So whether you’re looking for beautiful ethical clothing or just some foodie inspiration, the festival will be a brilliant day out for all the family.
Throughout the day, attendees will have the opportunity to taste vegan food, explore cruelty-free clothing and cosmetics, and learn more about health and nutrition. From a vegan twist on the traditional fish and chips from The Green Room, to honey-alternatives from The Northern Pantry, to deliciously decadent dairy-free ice-cream from The Ice Cream Ladies – there’s something for everyone.
Viva! founder and director Juliet Gellatley said: “Interest in veganism has continued to soar globally and shows no signs of slowing down. This immense growth in veganism can be seen in the amazing line-up that we have planned for our festival. Viva!’s vegan festivals are a fantastic way of bringing people together and showcasing the benefits of a vegan lifestyle. Regardless of dietary choices, we want everyone to come along and see just how wonderful vegan food can be.”
Entry is just £3 on the door or festival-goers can buy a VIP ticket for £13, which includes fast-track entry and a goody bag full of products, samples and discounts.
All proceeds go back to the charity to help Viva! conduct important undercover investigations, monitor the latest research on health and environmental issues, and host vegan outreach events.
