Vegfest returns to Bristol 26th & 27th May 2018
Posted on: 22 Sep 2017Vegfest brings their much-loved vegan festival back to Bristol in 2018, held at Ashton Gate Stadium for the first time.
Regarded as Europe's biggest vegan festival, Vegfest UK will take place at Ashton Gate Stadium in 2018, having been held at the outdoor Amphitheatre venue in previous years. The event will feature VIP rooms and in-house restaurants offering mouth-watering vegan menus, as well as 230 stalls, 16 caterers, talks, cookery demos and live music.
After a period of uncertainty following the decision not to run the event at Bristol's Amphitheatre, followers of the UK's most acclaimed vegan event can now look forward to its' first outing in the sleek, newly-developed Ashton Gate Stadium. With organisers understandably jubilant at having secured the Stadium for their event, Vegfest is set to undergo a major makeover from its' previous outdoor guise. A host of new features are in the works to go along with the traditional mix of stalls, food, talks, demos, family activities and music to create an unrivalled experience for anyone interested in a vegan lifestyle.
Elated about the prospect of taking Vegfest to the next level in 2018, organisers said “we’re clearly thrilled to have the opportunity to work at a venue like Ashton Gate. The facilities there are second to none and this will bring a whole new experience for our visitors of vegan events in the UK".
Running from 11am-11pm on Saturday 26th May and 11am-9pm on Sunday 27th, Vegfest welcomes a whole new set of features as well as retaining its' traditional flavours that have endeared it to the thousands of visitors that have attended over the course of its' 16-year run. As well as the great variety of fantastic food on offer, comedians, live musicians, magicians and a club night will all contribute to an upbeat carnival atmosphere.
The VegfestUK 2018 website will be up and running in 2018, including more festival information and ticket details as well as options regarding stall bookings. Until then, you can visit the Vegfest website to take a look at all the spectacular food, stalls and entertainment from this year's edition of Vegfest.
