Just want to let you Leicester folks know that it’s only 4 weeks until the Leicester Autumn Veggie/Vegan fair. Please, please support it cause if you don’t use ‘em you loose ‘em!
There are some great stalls and talks going on. Full details are below…
A Very Veggie Autumn Fair takes place again this year on Saturday 20th of October at Christchurch Hall, Clarendon Park Road, Leicester (10am-3pm). Visitors to the fair can expect to browse an array of stalls from different animal and green groups including: Leicestershire Vegetarian & Vegan Group, Leicester Badger Trust, Viva!, Respect for Animals, the Dr. Hadwen Trust, the League Against Cruel Sports, the Sea Shepherd and more
Quality new goods are available including health foods and groceries, cruelty free/vegan toiletries and ethically traded bags and accessories.
Old fair favourites feature too, including a raffle, tombola, jumble and brick brack stalls where fair goers will find second hand clothes, books and videos. Top prize on the raffle is a new digital camera – but tickets must be bought on the day!
A kid’s corner will provide colouring in activities and face painting and vegan snacks and refreshments will be available in the café.
There will be a program of talks and videos away from the main hall which will cover subjects such as the fur trade, protecting marine wildlife, why it’s green to be vegan and replacing animal experiments. The fair will also feature a compassionate tree where everyone can write and hang a written pledge.
Entrance to the fair is only 50p for adults, children enter free.
