Vegan Chocolate Festival

Discover a world of fascination at Chippenham’s first Vegan Chocolate Festival!

Expect the very best chocolatiers, craft chocolate makers, cake bakers, confectioners & raw chocolate makers, alongside chocolate inspired gifts, crafts, wines & liqueurs for chocolate pairing.

Being dairy-free doesn’t mean you’re missing out! As well as dark chocolate, there will be a range of vegan alternatives to milk and white chocolate for you to sample and buy.

Eco Art & Craft Fair

Alongside the chocolate festival, Chippenham’s first Eco Art & Craft fair will also be taking place. The fair will showcase a range of artists and makers that create beautiful handmade products using sustainable, responsible and recycled materials.

At our events you get the chance to meet and talk to the artists and learn more about what makes their products so unique. Browse a range of handmade, artisan products that range from beautiful ceramics to landscape paintings, up-cycled belts, and even jewellery made from recycled silver.

Rest assured that everything on offer is made with sustainability at its heart, because we believe that art shouldn’t have to cost the Earth.
