Dietary Requirements
We are continuously looking to grow our ‘free-from’ traders, whether that’s 100% vegan or 100% coeliac friendly. In 2025 we had over 40 food vendors offering a vegan main meal option and over 80 offering a vegetarian meal option. We also added even more food stalls that are coeliac friendly with over thirty different traders offering gluten free options.
