A festival celebrating all things veganism is set to take place in Somerset later this year
Somerset Vegan Festival will take place at Hutton Moor Leisure Centre in Weston-super-Mare, on Saturday, June 7.
The event will run from 10.30am to 4.30pm, and will feature more than 60 stalls offering a wide range of products, including food, skincare, beauty items, clothing, and crafts.
There will also be free samples of vegan foods and other products.
As well as the stalls, there will be live cooking demonstrations, talks, and workshops throughout the day.
The event will also have world food caterers, and live music.
Festival organiser, Victoria Bryceson, said: "I’m really excited about this year’s Somerset Vegan Festival.
"I’m sure that people in Somerset and the South West will enjoy the stalls, talks, workshops and atmosphere.
"We look forward to welcoming everyone, not just vegans, to the festival.
"Our goal is to continue to bring vegans and non-vegans together, to support local vegan businesses, and to show just how easy it is to be vegan."
The festival will feature a number of local stallholders, including Indulge Scents by Jess and The Bunnyjackpot Foundation.
Weston-based Indulge Scents by Jess is a small artisan business that makes vegan, sustainable, and eco-friendly fragrance products.
The Bunnyjackpot Foundation is a small animal rescue based in southwest England.
All animals rehomed by the rescue are health-checked by a vet, vaccinated, and, if applicable, neutered.
South West stallholders will also include Bristol's Viva! and Dark Matter, Devon's Plant Bakes, and Gloucester's LotusV.
Viva! is the UK’s leading vegan campaigning charity, specialising in undercover investigations and high-profile animal campaigns.
The charity looks at the consequences of what we eat on farmed and wild animals, on the planet, and on us.
Dark Matters makes a range of vegan brownies with fairtrade chocolate and no palm oil, while Plant Bakes makes vegan brownies, millionaire shortbread, and tray bakes, as well as their signature cupcakes.
LotusV will be offering Oriental cuisine and bubble tea.
Tickets for the Somerset Vegan Festival 2025 are £5 and can be bought in advance via veganeventsuk.co.uk.
They can also be purchased on the day.
People can also choose to purchase a VIP ticket, costing £15, which includes fast track entry and a goody bag full of vegan products, samples, discounts, and offers.
There is free entry for under 16s and the event is suitable for families.
The venue has free parking.
