Award-winning businesses are among the vendors set to take part in Fife’s next vegan festival .

Fife Vegfest takes place on Sunday, October 19 in the Old Kirk, Kirkcaldy, and attracts people from across the district.

It has grown in size since it launched in the Kings Theatre, Kirkcaldy, in October 24, and, this summer, ventured outdoors for the first time, taking over the pedestrianised zone of the town’s High Street.

The fourth Vegfest returns to the Old Kirk with a line up of vendors from Fife, and a few award-winning big names from around Scotland.

It runs from 11:00am to 4:00pm and will be followed with an after-party at BArty’s in Kirk Wynd from 6:00pm with the venue showcasing its own new vegan buffet offering. The event is open to all.

Vegfest is organised by a small committee of volunteers who have tapped into a growing interest in the sector.
