FOOD-LOVERS are excited to see the return of Worcester's Vegan Market this summer.
Worcester Vegan Market is set to take over the High Street and Cathedral Square on Saturday, June 18 and Sunday, October 22.
Shoppers will be able to pick up plant-based treats and sustainable goods from High Street and Cathedral Square from 11am to 6pm.
The market will bring up to 30 stalls to the city and offer food-lovers a variety of street food vendors, artisan bakers, ethical jewellers and local artists.
Worcester Vegan Market is a climate-positive event that aims to bring forward sustainable, ethical and vegan alternatives and pioneer eco-focused companies.
Last year, the market had a variety of stalls including No Frickin Chicken, OMishka, Vegan Sweet Tooth, Little Bento Box and The Pie Box just to name a few.

Mr Singh, who is originally from Birmingham, said: "I was excited to come here to Worcester because I felt the people here would understand my product and what I am about - and I was right.
"This is an absolutely beautiful city and the people have been fantastic."
Mr Singh previously worked for a high-end cosmetics brand but was made redundant in lockdown.
“I wanted to create a product that really nourished people's nails and skin without the harsh chemicals.
“Sustainability is also very important to me. When I lost my job I saw it as an opportunity to do it differently and it has been a fantastic journey,” he added.
Lewis Beresford, Vegan Market Company’s founder, said: “We are so excited to be in Worcester 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 Worcester.”
