The impressive line-up showcased a diverse range of vegan products as the event once again proved a hit with visitors, who were keen to learn more about a meat-free lifestyle.
As always, there was a range of activities on offer, as well as exciting live shows and appearances from top chefs.
From ‘cheeze’ made from tofu to jerk soya, flavours from across the world were celebrated, with plenty of free samples on offer.
Our photographer Steve Riding was there to capture all the action. Here are some of the best pictures from the day –
