Cllr Jennifer Tillotson, the Council’s lead member for economic development, regeneration and town centres, said: “I’m so pleased that we are welcoming the vegan market back to Loughborough following its popularity over the last year.
“We are very proud of our markets and it is important for us to offer residents and visitors a variety of specialist markets throughout the year as well as our retail and vintage markets which take place weekly.”
Lewis Beresford, Vegan Market Co. founder said; “We are so excited to be back in Loughborough. 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 Loughborough!”
