Watford to host first vegan and green market this weekend

The next Sunday opening for Watford Market will include street food vendors and fresh produce, as well as plant based and eco-friendly products.

Stalls will be trading from 10am until 3pm on Sunday (August 21), when the High Street market has usually been closed.

With the success of similar Sunday markets elsewhere, Watford Borough Council hopes this will continue an exciting new chapter for Watford.
