The huge Christmas market going ahead in Manchester next week

It's the year that almost every large-scale event - including the Manchester Christmas Markets - has been cancelled, but one has found a way to go ahead as planned.

The Manchester Vegan Winter Market is set to return to the city next week, with festive food and gifts available to purchase.

The annual event has been given the green light to go ahead on December 12.

The huge festive market will be selling items to help people plan for a cruelty-free Christmas.

A massive range of vegan Christmas food will be on sale too, including mince pies, chocolates, and Christmas cake.

Taking over the Bowlers Exhibition Centre next weekend, there'll be takeaway food to buy, such as mouth-watering vegan hot dogs from Vdogs.

Event organisers also plan to go ahead with cookery demos and talks, according to the latest update.

The vegan food and shopping experience will welcome visitors in two separate time slots to prevent overcrowding.

Other safety measures in place will include one-way systems, compulsory face coverings (unless exempt) and monitored social distancing.

The 2020 event will take place between 10.30am and 4.30pm on Saturday December 12.

More than 60 stalls will take part selling festive vegan produce, including ethical gifts such as skincare, bath bombs and clothing.

Entry will cost £5 plus a 60p booking fee, with under 16s able to attend for free - you can book a ticket at eventbrite.co.uk/e/manchester-vegan-market-tickets

VIP tickets are priced at £15, and include fast track entry and a goody bag of samples and special offers.
