A lively community-based event close to the centre of town, the Bristol Vegan Fayre Summer Edition takes place at Document in St Judes on Saturday August 24th from 11am – 6pm and everyone is invited!
An outstanding array of vegan food is on offer alongside a number of independent traders and a line-up of live music, talks and comedy. Around 1500 people are expected to attend this much loved and long-standing vegan event, which started life back in Bristol in 2003.
Live music from local acts including Albex Acoustic Duo, Emaline Delapaix, David Robinson aka The Cold Heart Revue, Fossilheads Climate Crisis Cabaret, David Camilli, Giles Bryant and Sweet Goose are joined by Swedish based Vystopia for an eclectic lineup – with animals and the environment as central themes for the performers. Ibiza Chill will be playing all day in the outside covered canopy area, and comedy is inside the talks room in the afternoon. There is a kids area too, so there is plenty of entertainment at the show.
Ten vegan street food caterers are in attendance with an abundance of choice, textures and flavours from around the world – all of them fully vegan, alongside an array of vegan pastries, savouries, doughnuts, cheesecake, cakes and ice cream ensuring a completely vegan paradise for foodies of all descriptions.
Manager Tim Barford says: “We are delighted that over 30% of attendees are not vegan, and nearly all of them leave with a very good impression of vegan food options. If you’re not yet vegan but curious about plant based options and interested in sampling the very best, this show is for you!”
Some uplifting and inspiring talks will also be taking place at the event, with vegan MP for Bristol East Kerry McCarthy in attendance talking about the new Labour Government plans for animals, and Giles Bryant outlining ‘How To Thrive on a Vegan Diet’ which will be of interest to many within the vegan community as well as newcomers to the plant based lifestyle. Tracey & Simon West from Word Forest will be presenting about their reforestation work in Kenya, and campaigners from local activists groups will be joining the show for some panels and discussions.
“Bristol Vegan Fayre is always lively, fun, uplifting and inspirational, and open to all ages and interests, great for people who aren’t vegan, and makes for a very good springboard for those wanting to find out more about what it means to be vegan.”
There’s some truly outstanding independent local traders at the show – around 80 stalls including a number of charities, sanctuaries and community interest companies.
“There are some really good projects to support at this community based event – come and join us for some tasty vegan treats and live music & all the fun of the fayre!”
