What we do.
We bring plant-based living to life with fun, vibrant, and inclusive vegan events.
All of our events are completely free, because we believe exploring veganism should be accessible to all.
Our Vegan Fairs come in all shapes and sizes, but here’s a taste of what you can expect at some of our upcoming events:
A mix of local and national vegan businesses
Free samples and giveaways
Expert advice on how to go vegan
A handful of our events also include inspiring talks, cooking demos and hands-on workshops.
Over the years, we’ve even hosted unique experiences like vegan speed dating and a human book library, where people can ‘borrow’ real-life stories from passionate vegans.
Why we do it.
MAKING veganism accessible
Our goal is to give people the chance to discover and sample a diverse range of artisan, plant-based products crafted by independent businesses. Veganism is no longer just a trend, it’s a way of life for millions across the UK.
While supermarkets continue to expand their vegan ranges, we believe there’s still a need to spotlight small, artisan producers who bring something truly special to the table. That’s where our vegan fairs come in – making these incredible products more accessible to local communities.
SUPPORTING independent BUSINESSES
We’re passionate about supporting independent, local businesses by giving them a platform to showcase their products and grow their brands. For many of our traders, vegan fairs and markets are not just a source of income, they’re a stepping stone to taking their business to the next level.
We’ve built strong relationships with our traders over the years and take pride in being part of their journey. You can enquire below if you’re interested in trading at one of our events.
promoting vegan living
We believe that markets are one of the most effective ways to introduce people to plant-based living. Many of our events are the first of their kind in the towns we visit, drawing in curious locals – not just vegans!
Our welcoming, community-focused approach has been praised for making veganism feel friendly, accessible, and approachable. By bringing plant-based food, ethical products, and passionate traders to new places, we’re helping more people discover what it’s like to live a vegan lifestyle.
What to expect.
a welcoming atmosphere
Our fairs are a judgment-free zone and everyone is welcome. Whether you're vegan, vegetarian, flexitarian, or just curious, come along and support independent businesses.
a range of traders
We carefully select our stallholders to bring you a diverse range of high-quality products while supporting independent businesses that champion sustainability, ethics, and eco-friendly practices.
THE BEST LOCAL BUSINESSES
Having a strong local focus is really important to us and we always make sure that our events showcase local traders and businesses. Shopping locally builds communities, boosts the local economy, and your shopping will likely have a lower carbon footprint.
TALKS AND DEMOS
As well as showcasing the best vegan products, some of our events feature a full programme of talks and demos for you to enjoy throughout the day. Our programme will vary from venue to venue so make sure you check out the schedule ahead of the event!
