A popular market showcasing the best vegan delicacies is set to return to St Albans.
Vegan Market Co runs the event involving the best vegan businesses, ranging from niche local independents to larger well-known companies.
It aims to make veganism accessible and inclusive for everyone, while also helping to tackle the climate crisis by promoting sustainable lifestyle choices.
The market will be in the centre of St Albans on St Peter's Street and will run on Sunday, May 2, from 10:30am to 4pm.

Lewis Beresford, VMC’s founder, said: “We are so excited to bring our vegan market back to St Albans.
