Vegan market returns to town

Loughborough will welcome a vegan market back to the town on Sunday, March 12.

The event which proved popular last year, is run by the Vegan Market Co. in partnership with Charnwood Borough Council.

The event held in Loughborough Market Place will feature a variety of vegan street food, artisan bakes, craft cheeses, handmade cosmetics, ethical clothing and jewellery, arts and crafts and charity stalls.

All items are created by a handpicked selection of talented, ethical and sustainable businesses.

Gluten free options are available and well-behaved dogs are welcome. The event is also fully wheelchair accessible.

The vegan market will run from 10.30am-4pm.

Cllr Jenny Bokor, lead member for Loughborough, said: “The two vegan markets we hosted last year were great successes and were very much welcomed by residents and visitors.

“They have an excellent range of vegan produce and stalls. It should be a fantastic atmosphere in Loughborough once again.”

Lewis Beresford, founder of the Vegan Market Co. said: “We are so excited to be back in Loughborough. We work hard to find the country’s leading vegan producers, from street food vendors and bakers to ethical clothing and cosmetic producers.

“We also work with many local businesses and can’t wait to give all of these fantastic producers the platform they deserve and introduce them to the wonderful people of Loughborough!”

This will be the first of three vegan markets to visit Loughborough in 2023. They are also planned in May and October.

The council is planning an expansive programme of events in Loughborough town centre and market place this year. To find out more about events in 2023, visit the council’s website: www.charnwood.gov.uk/ exciting_events_planned_ for_2023
