A vegan market is coming to Great Malvern this summer.

The Malvern Vegan Market will take over Abbey Road on Saturday, July 22.

Brought to the town by Vegan Market Co (VMCO), the event will feature a variety of vegan street food, artisan bakes, craft cheeses, handmade cosmetics, ethical clothing and jewellery, arts and crafts, and charity stalls.

All are created by a handpicked selection of talented, ethical and sustainable businesses.

Lewis Beresford, VMCO’s founder, said: “We are so excited to be in Malvern for the first time.

“We work hard to find the country’s leading vegan producers, from street food vendors and bakers to ethical clothing and cosmetic producers.

“We also work with many local businesses and can’t wait to give all of these fantastic producers the platform they deserve and introduce them to the wonderful people of Malvern.”

The Malvern Vegan Market will run from 10.30am to 4pm on July 22.

Vegan Market Co ran its first event back in 2016 and has grown to cover more than 50 locations across the UK, including Worcester and Ross-on-Wye.

The company says its markets showcase the country’s best ethical and sustainable producers and make it their mission to make veganism accessible and inclusive.

Vegan Market Co also says it is tackling the climate crisis by promoting sustainable lifestyle choices with its events and supporting tree planting and conservation projects around the world.

In addition to offsetting the carbon footprint from each event, a tree is planted for every business that takes part.

July is looking set to be a bumper month for foodies in Malvern.

A week after the vegan market comes to town, the showground will play host to the Three Counties Food and Drink Festival.

Celebrities including Matt Tebbutt, Jean-Christophe Novelli and Great British Bake Off winner John Whaite will be making appearances across the weekend of July 29 and 30.

On July 15, the monthly Great Malvern Farmers Market will be held in the grounds of Great Malvern Priory.

There will be live music from buskers and all the usual goodies on offer from the market, which takes place on the third Saturday of each month.
