Tomorrow we’ll be at out first event in two years! Postponed from 2020 we’re really excited to be at the Vegan Chocolate Festival in our home town of Chippenham. Set in the beautiful Neeld and Town Hall the festival is in two distinct parts. We’ll be downstairs in the Neeld for the Vegan Chocolate Festival. Upstairs in the Town Hall will be the Eco Art & Craft market.
We’ll be showcasing our Vegan chocolate range and also beautiful Madagascan Raffia bags in support of Small Steps for Africa and Matthew’s book ‘How to be Imperfectly Sustainable‘.
We’ll have some exclusives including Vegan Chocolate Brownies and Honeycomb which will only be available at the Vegan Chocolate Festival.

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.
