Dates for your diary
Om Yoga Show
All tickets include entry to Mind, Body and Spirit + The Vegan Shows
I recommend waiting until nearer the time before buying tickets to get the best possible deal. Free tickets are often available at the last minute and you can always buy tickets on the door. Full price is currently £15 which is amazing value anyway!
Alexandra Palace, London
