Loughborough will host a popular vegan market in the town on Sunday, October 22.

This will be the third vegan market, run by the Vegan Market Co. in partnership with Charnwood Borough Council, to take place in Loughborough this year. The event in the 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.

Councillor Jennifer Tillotson, the Council’s lead member for economic development, regeneration and town centres, said:

“I’m so pleased that we are welcoming the vegan market back to Loughborough following its popularity over the last year. We are very proud of our markets and it is important for us to offer residents and visitors a variety of specialist markets throughout the year as well as our retail and vintage markets which take place weekly.”

Lewis Beresford, Vegan Market Co. founder 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!”
