 EFFA NEWSFLASH
Don't forget the Big Day this Saturday:
ANIMAL AID SOUTH WEST CHRISTMAS WITHOUT CRUELTY FESTIVAL
SATURDAY 18 NOVEMBER
10 am - 4.30 pm
Exeter Corn Exchange
"A cruelty-free wonderland is coming to Exeter this Saturday, so please do join us for a great day out. There will be delicious vegan versions of many traditional foods including Cornish pasties, hotdogs, cheeses, quiches, pies and tarts, sushi and lasagne, mince pies and cream, and a wide range of cakes. There will also be free food tasting, a great value all-day restaurant, a comedy show, music, talks, demonstrations, recipes and information to take away – plus a chance to win some lovely prizes.
As well as an enormous range of plant-based foods, the festival gives people an ideal opportunity to buy original, cruelty-free Christmas gifts and cards and at the same time to support charities and local traders. We will have fair trade clothes, chocolates galore, local and sustainable arts and crafts, non animal-tested cosmetics and household goods."
