IMPORTANT COVID-19 UPDATE.
In response to the new government advice for the public to “avoid” all social gatherings we have taken the difficult decision to postpone all our events till the end of April.
Events effected currently are Chippenham Vegan Chocolate Festival, Chippenham Eco Art/Craft Fair and Witney Vegan Fair 2020 (we are currently waiting on confirmation from the venue on Frome Vegan Market).
We will continue to monitor the developments on an ongoing basis and we’re currently working with venues and traders to reschedule events. We will confirm new dates where possible.
Over the last week we have been carefully considering our response to the situation around the COVID-19 outbreak. While we must do all we can to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our audiences, traders and staff this will have a massive economic hit, not only for us, but the hundreds of independent businesses we work with.
We know the next few months are going to be extremely difficult for everyone, but we do ask that wherever possible, please support independent businesses during this period.
Even though 15% of the UK workforce are self-employed, the majority aren't entitled to any sick pay. We know this will hugely affect our traders, as well as The Vegan Fairs team. So we'd encourage everyone to be supportive of each other at this uncertain time.
Over the next few months we are going to be using our platform to highlight some fantastic independent vegan businesses that you can still support over the next few months. We’ll also be generating some new useful and engaging content for you all to enjoy!
Take care and stay safe 💚
