What are vegan festivals about?
Are you thinking to switch to a diet with less meat and dairy? Perhaps you even participated in Veganuary and thinking to keep up eating less meat or none at all? If you don’t know where to start or you just want to meet with some local vegan peeps and small businesses, vegan festivals are a great place to start. Much like any other festivals, there are a lots of great food to try, learn more about local businesses, meet like-minded people and of course have a good time. At these vegan festivals during the spring of 2018 you’ll find some great live music, inspirational talks, live cookery demonstrations, workshops and children’s activities, so they make a perfect family day out too.

#thesatesh Im currently ignoring my morals to move towards this lifestyle and was thinking how a festival may help me to see how non-dramatic it needs to be. I like the idea of seeing whats on offer and hearing other peoples stories. I need to work on ‘commitment’ more in 2018.
Oooh I may try and go to the one in Shoreditch as it’s nearest to us. Lovely to read about these festivals as I knew nothing about them! #thesatsesh xx
Hi, i do like a vegan festival to stock up on treats. The Free from Festival is also a great place to find lots of vegan treats #mondaystumble
