First ever Laxey Vegan Festival
There's a celebration of all things cruelty-free in the east of the Island this afternoon (Sat).
The first ever Laxey Vegan Festival is taking place in the village between 2 and 11pm.
Live music and ethically-sourced food and drink will be available all day at the village's Working Men's Institute.
Admission is free.
One of the organisers, self-styled 'reformed carnivore' Grant Fisher, says it's a far cry from the militancy all too often associated with veganism:
Almost 3,000 take part in Pilates world record attempt at Knockaloe
Record for largest ever class remains unbroken, but crowds achieve separate accolade
Ben-my-Chree sailing cancelled due to 'technical issues'
All Manannan journeys are going ahead as planned
81 'unsafe squishy toys' seized
Parents urged to check for unsafe items
Manx Utilities open 'prior information notice' for Garff Sewage Treatment works
It says it's not a 'competitive tender process' at this stage
