The Scottish Vegan Festival is returning to Edinburgh in October, with a huge range of stalls and events for everyone interested in veganism.

The festival takes place twice every year and is back on Sunday, October 20 after a successful event in April.

There will be dozens of food stalls showing off the best vegan produce from Scotland and further afield, including vegan pies and toasties.

It will be family-friendly as well with a children's entertainer called Mr Bundle on hand to teach kids the importance of eating vegetables.

A series of talks around veganism and animal welfare will also be held, including one from the marine conservation group Sea Shepherd.

As well as the hot food, there will be vegan cosmetics and cakes.

Tickets are from £3 and can be purchased here, with money going towards the Farplace animal rescue charity.
