Running from 10:30am until 4:30pm, the event will feature around 70 stalls offering world street food, cakes, dairy and meat alternatives, skincare, clothing, juices, health foods, and plenty of products you might not find in a supermarket.
Visitors can also expect free samples, talks, demonstrations, recipes, nutritional advice, and budget cooking ideas. Standard entry is £5 plus booking fee, with fast track entry available for £15 plus booking fee and including a goody bag filled with products, samples, discounts and special offers.
Tickets must be purchased in advance as there will be no door sales due to venue capacity. Find out more and book your place for the South Wales Vegan Festival online.
