As Christmas approaches, the annual rush of gift-buying and frantic shopping is in full swing. And while Christmas shopping is rarely anyone's favourite task, there are ways to make it less painful than a frenzied and exhausting trip to the Trafford Centre. Manchester vegan Christmas festival is one good alternative.
Held at Bowler's Exhibition Centre in Trafford, the festival hosted a variety of traders selling everything from cakes to clothes and perfume to pastries - all completely vegan. It was the perfect spot to hunt for a Christmas gift with a difference from traders who are passionate about their craft.
One such trader was Beth, who runs the Ivy Dene rabbit rescue in Leeds. She uses profits made from her rabbit-themed wares to care for bunnies in need, so you know your money will be well-spent.
