North West Vegan Festival
Saturday 26th January 2008
11am - 6pm
The North West Vegan Festival will be at Sachas Hotel, Tib Street, Manchester, M4 1SH, just off Piccadilly Gardens. (11am-6.00pm)
CAPS will be having a stall at this event and as always there will be lots of merchandise for sale.

The Festival is being held in Manchester in honour of Neil Lea who sadly passed away last year.

Entry is free and consists of a range of interesting workshops and speakers. There will also be stalls (see list below) selling a wide range of cruelty free products and many vegan goodies.

We would really appreciate your help if anyone can help the CAPS team on the stall sometime during the day. No previous experience needed - just a willingness to help. (Even 10 minutes would help, we all need a vegan food break!!!).

If you're able to help in any way please email me paul@captiveanimals.org or call the CAPS office on 0845 330 3911.
