Victoria Bryceson, festival organiser, said: ‘I’m really looking forward to Portsmouth Vegan Festival which is set to be even bigger and better than last year’s.

‘We received so much positive feedback last year and there’s now so much demand that this festival is becoming a sell-out event.

‘I think it’s partly because people really love the friendly atmosphere.

‘The wonderful thing about the event is that it’s for everyone whatever your lifestyle.

‘Just come along and bring your friends for a great, fun day-out.

‘You’ll have everything you need there, whether you’re looking for some retail-therapy, some ‘me’ time, precious family time or just a lovely meal out with some friends.’
