Organisers of the successful Ipswich Farmers’ Market, Suffolk Market Events, have just announced a brand new vegan market – due to take place in the town this weekend.
From 10am to 4pm on Sunday (September 20), stalls selling plant-based food and drink, and craft and home products, will gather on Cornhill in the centre of Ipswich, which has seen its vegan scene grow exponentially in recent years.
Justine Paul, founder of Suffolk Market Events, says the location is perfect, and she hopes, much like the farmers’ market, the attraction will lure more shoppers into the town centre.
“It makes perfect sense to host a vegan market in Ipswich,” she says, “and it’s so great to have such a brilliant range of top quality, new, creative, tasty and innovative vegan businesses showcasing at our event. We have seen a growing demand for vegan products at our farmers’ markets, and Ipswich has more and more people looking for vegan options.”
