The Edinburgh Vegan Festival is returning next weekend with a huge selection of goodies, from plant-based food to ethical garments.

Taking place Sunday 21 April at Murrayfield Rugby Ground, from 10:30am-4:00pm, festival organisers promise this year's fifth annual festival will be bigger and better.

There will be a range of stalls showcasing vegan goodies made by the very best in the industry, from chocolate, cheese, cakes, drinks and even takeaway food, you will be spoilt for choice.

As well as all you can eat under the one roof, festival-goers can browse cruelty-free clothes and beauty products with skincare and makeup also on sale.

The festival promotes a lifestyle that supports "a more ethical way of living" but emphasises that all are welcome and invite guests along to "show you that it's easy to become vegan".

Guest speakers will also be giving free talks and demos, alongside animal sanctuaries who will be talking about the important work they do.

There is still time to get tickets in advance for just £2 here, or £3 on the door for adults and £1 for children. Under 5's and carers go free this price includes entry into all speaker presentations and workshops.
