Swindon Borough Council is helping those who want to start 2020 with a healthier lifestyle.

The local authority is putting on its inaugural Healthy Living Event this year on Saturday, January 4.

A spokesperson for the borough council said: “We are launching our first Healthy Living Fest to coincide with Veganuary.

"We’d love you to join us for the day to discover ways in which we can all do more to have a healthy mind, body and planet.

“The event will be free to the public however there will be stalls available to purchase food and goods on the day.”

Author C Lou Hamilton will be speaking at the festival on the day about her new book Veganism, Sex and Politics.

It will be taking place at the Central Library at Regent Circus.

Entry is free to the event, which will run from 11am until 3.30pm.
