A new vegan festival is coming to Manchester this May with over 80 stalls

A recent Mintel study has revealed that half of Brits limit their meat intake or don’t eat meat, with 49% limiting their meat intake or not eating meat at all, up from 41% in 2020.

Manchester Vegan Festival is set to provide inspiration for those thinking about reducing their meat intake or going vegan, as well as those who already have.

Over 80 fantastic stalls showcasing the best of the vegan lifestyle will feature at the Manchester Vegan Festival on Sunday 15th May.

Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian or looking to go vegan, this event has everything you could possibly need all under one roof. 

Manchester Vegan Festival provides a one-stop shop for vegan products, with numerous stalls providing everything you could need including vegan toiletries, fashion, food, pet products, jewellery, shoes, makeup and much more.
