A plant-based market is set to return this weekend following its pilot success.

The Vegan Market will take over East Street in Chichester on Sunday, September 22, bringing with it a range of vegan food vendors, craft brewers, arts and crafts and more.

The market first visited the city in January. It operates in more than 50 locations across the UK, having launched in 2016.

Councillor Harsha Desai, cabinet member for economic development and communications, licensing and events at Chichester District Council, said: "We're excited to welcome back this event to Chichester.

“Its visit in January was a big success and it's great to see them return with a wider range of stalls.

“It's an opportunity for residents and visitors to experience something new and to buy products that have been sustainably and ethically sourced.

"The market also gives everyone the chance to learn more about the variety of products and produce that is available - even for those who are not vegan. For example, swapping out dairy products for vegan alternatives can be a good way to live more healthily and sustainably.

"This event is in response to feedback from people, when we introduced our Events Strategy, who said that they would like to see a greater range of events and markets in the district, especially at the weekends."

Lewis Beresford, founder of Vegan Market Co, said: "We are delighted to be coming to Chichester again.

“It was amazing to come to Chichester for the first time earlier this year, we find that there is always a demand for vegan products, and it was great to see people come together and learn more or try something new.

“It doesn't matter if someone is vegan, or just curious, we always make sure our markets make for a delicious and fun-filled day out."

The market will take place from 10am until 4pm.
