The Vegan Market is FREE to attend and with over 800 on-site car parking spaces and a selection of 50 of your favourite high street brands, it’s easy to make a day of it at The Heart Shopping Centre.
If you’re planning a visit to the market, don’t forget to stop by our trader of the month ‘Secret Scones’’ and check out their delicious Vegan Cream Teas! Founder Hayley gives us some background behind the brand….
“Everything we sell is vegan and homemade in the Cotswolds. We only use plant based packaging so everything is 100% biodegradable. When I couldn't find a vegan version of a cream tea that hit the spot, I decided to create my own. The perfect balance was difficult to achieve, I wanted it to taste like a cream tea people would remember. I tested my practiced recipes on non vegan family and friends as I thought if any one would be critical, it would be them. After some great feedback, I decided to bring my cruelty free cream tea to vegan markets and fairs all over the south of England and Wales since 2017.
Our scones are light, fluffy and flavoursome and available in plain, sultana, date and cranberry. Our chia fruit spread is sweetened with just a small amount of agave nectar and is packed with chia seeds, providing less sugar and more protein than traditional jams. Made with a variety of red fruits, it is deliciously tangy and creates the perfect contrast to our sweet and buttery vegan clotted cream.
Our secret recipe 'never been clotted cream' has been a massive hit at every market, and the support from the Surrey Vegan Events team and their followers has been amazing. Vegan or not, come down and try some for yourself! “
