Vegan fair serves up a treat for visitors
A fair dedicated to vegetarian and vegan living welcomed scores of visitors.
More than 200 people attended the event at Avenue Primary School, in Avenue Road Extension, Clarendon Park, Leicester, on Saturday to sample vegan and vegetarian food.
A number of workshops were also held to teach people about crafts, such as making their own tote bags, and caterers Pocketwala were on hand to feed the hungry masses with healthy Indian food.
Richard Bonfield, resident poet for the Born Free foundation – an organisation which aims to combat animal cruelty – also entertained visitors with readings of his and Pollyanna Pickering's new book Wildness.
Organiser Ann-Marie Harrigan said: "It was a great success, we had more people than we anticipated and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves."
