A VEGAN fair is back this year - with more than 40 traders.

Frome Vegan Fair, held at the Cheese and Grain, will be returning to the town on April 10.

There will be a range of stalls, from food and drink to cruelty free cosmetics, as well as clothing, gifts and accessories.

The event, organised by Vegan Fairs, will also feature cooking demos, talks, free tasters and children’s activities.

Now running in their fifth year, Vegan Fairs has hosted a number of events in Somerset, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Devon.

They have organised vegan markets and fairs, as well as provided festivals and local councils with plant-based traders for their own events.

Vegan Fair co-organiser, Daisy Botha, said: "We love hosting Vegan Fair events. Our events are inclusive and welcome people who are curious about plant-based living.

"We have found a rise in the number of people who would just like to explore alternative options to their current lifestyle.

"For those already enjoying a plant-based lifestyle, it’s a great opportunity to meet new traders, like-minded people and stock up with some delicious treats, or to simply try something new. All whilst being able to support independent traders.

"Whilst you can enjoy your own personal experience, it is also a sociable event.”

Frome Vegan Fair will run from 10am until 3pm.

Entry costs £2, but under 14s are free when accompanied by an adult.
