Caterers

Last year we all seemed to run out of food early on in the day, so this year sees several caterers at the show, including VEGGIES veggie burger stall and the vegan DONER KEBAB outfit (handily placed down by the bar and the stage), ZEDZ foods ( vegan cakes and savouries), TIFFINS (savoury Indian snacks), AROMAFOODS (savoury snacks), BIG BANANA (juices and smoothies), CLIFTON COFFEE (fresh gourmet coffee) and SHAMBHU’S KITHCHEN, serving hot Indian meals and salads all day. So if you ever thought vegan food might be a bit dull.

Kids area

Two of the back rooms have been given over to the nippers, one of them with SALLY NOVELLO and ROBBIE McMAGIC on hand to entertain and face paint, whilst the other provides a small area for prams and pushchairs to be parked out of the mass for a few moments. Keep an eye out too for a variety of clowns and magicians and other entertainers around the show – especially by the stage area.

 

Competitions

There will be a number of easy to enter competitions on the stage all day, with a variety of prizes on offer. At the moment you can win a HAMPER from ESSENTIAL and a HEMP MILKMAKER from YAOH but there will be others added to the list shortly.
