You know I love a good vegan market. I love them so much, I used to run a couple!
So imagine how loudly I squealed when I found out that Swansea is getting its very own vegan night market. That’s right. Swansea. At night. Vegan!

This trailblazing event is a collaboration between the legends over at Brontosaurus Vegan Store and the fabulous HQ Urban Kitchen, two local businesses that have been holding it down for their community. Now they are teaming up to bring you an evening packed with vegan food, drink and produce from a whole host of independent traders.
The launch night is taking place on Friday 15th August between 5:30pm and 9:30pm and I honestly cannot think of a better way to spend a summer evening. Delicious food, friendly people, and a strong community vibe.
Markets like this are more than just a fun night out. They’re vital. They keep money in the local economy. They lift up independent businesses doing the hard work of feeding us ethically. They create space to connect, to share ideas, and to remember that we’re part of something bigger.
If you’re a vegan business and want to get in on the action, good news. There’s still a bit of space for more traders, so dust off that gazebo and polish your pie warmer. There’s a QR code on the event flyer to scan if you’d like to apply for a pitch.
And for everyone else? Mark that date. Friday 15th August. Make a plan. Bring your mates. And make sure you follow Brontosaurus Vegan Store on Instagram so you don’t miss any juicy updates.
