Bristol-based charity Viva! is returning to Brighton for an even bigger and better vegan festival!
Everything you ever wanted to know about trying, becoming or staying vegan will be available at the Brighton Viva! Vegan Festival. With over 100 stalls at the Hilton Metropole Hotel—a venue in the heart of the city with stunning sea views—this festival will be a brilliant and exciting family day out.
The Brighton Viva! Vegan Festival is the third annual event in the city and is expected to attract over 3000 attendees. Throughout the day you will have the opportunity to taste vegan food, explore vegan clothing and cosmetics, and learn more about health and nutrition.
Entry to the festival is just £5 on the door, £8 for a weekend ticket or £15 to include fast-track entry and a goody bag full of products, samples and discounts. Better yet – kids under the age of 16 go free.
There will be a stellar line up of talks, cookery demonstrations and delicious vegan food—including the Greek Vegan Deli, vegan cheese and plant-based meat from Lettices and even dairy-free Baileys from Besos Food and Drinks! The variety of stallholders, literature and talks will leave festival-goers spoilt for choice.
Viva! founder and director Juliet Gellatley said: “Interest in veganism has continued to soar globally and shows no signs of slowing down. Viva!’s vegan festivals are a fantastic way of bringing people together and showcasing the benefits of a vegan lifestyle. Regardless of dietary choices, we want everyone to come along and see just how wonderful vegan food can be.”
The Brighton Festival follows the success of the 50 roadshows the charity has held across the UK since October 2004, which have been attended by more than 100,000 people. A third of those attending the shows were meat eaters looking for help in cutting down their intake.
Viva! is an established animal and environmental campaigning charity that has been promoting veganism since 1994. Viva!’s events have helped thousands of people change to a kinder, healthier diet. All are welcome!
