I loved visiting the Vegan Festival run by the Vegan Organic Network last Saturday. It was different to other vegan festivals I have been to as it was outdoors, the sun was shining and everyone was enjoying the day. When I went to the Vegan Festival in Manchester it was indoors and really busy, there was hardly any room to move. It was nice to see how popular a vegan event is but it felt claustrophobic. Having a festival at the Chorlton Irish Centre using both the indoor and outdoor space was a brilliant idea, it meant there was more space and even though it was extremely busy you weren't bumping into people.
It was nice to see the turn out, every stall was busy and the burgers and ice cream stalls were extremely busy. Who says vegans only eat salads. There was also entertainment from singers to dancers and outdoor seating to enjoy it all. This was an amazing event, it was well organised and a fun day out for all the family. There was face painting for kids, and an indoor bar and chill out room for adults and talks upstairs in the centre. I think vegan festivals are one business which is guaranteed to make money, it is nice to spend time with other people who share your lifestyle and find new vegan products and eat delicious food without needing to check labels. It was nice to sample Jamaican vegan food and see all the make-up brands available. I got loads of recipe ideas and had a great day out. I hope there are more outdoor festivals like this is the future!
