SHOPPERS in Dorchester will be able to sample vegan cakes on Saturday as Compassionate Dorset celebrates Bake with Compassion Month.

The annual cake sale will be held in the town centre and will include a guest appearance from Percy the free-range pig, above.

Compassionate Dorset is also urging people across the county to get baking this month in support of its campaign.

Among the businesses to support the campaign is The Gilded Teapot in Tudor Arcade, which will be promoting Bake with Compassion throughout October and collecting donations for the charity as well as recommending perfect teas to accompany cakes.
