Organisers have said ‘everyone is welcome’ and encouraged vegans, vegetarians, flexitarians, those thinking about going vegan or wanting to include more vegan products in their diet to come and explore. The 2023 lineup includes VDogs, who will be selling their range of freshly cooked to order vegan hotdogs. Also exhibiting is Iuvo Skincare, a family run natural and organic skincare company.

Alongside food sellers will be organisations such as Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust and Miracle’s Mission, a non-profit animal welfare organisation that works with sick, injured and difficult animals. There will also be a stall selling Bo’s Book, a new cook book that features simple, easy-to-follow recipes together with beautiful illustrations of dogs from Miracle’s Mission with all profits going towards the needy animals.
