VegfestUK London 2022 Olympia Returns!
THE thrilling news that VegfestUK London returns to Olympia on November 12th 13th 2022 for the UK’s biggest indoor exhibition of all things vegan was announced at Global Vegfest 2 just before Christmas 2021 after what will be an absence of 3 years by the time the gates open for a return to live events post-COVID once again.
Expect up to 400 traders with the latest in plantbased products as well as a number of animal charities, campaign groups, authors, speakers & entertainers. And let’s not forget visitors - up to 20,000 potentially over the weekend - although organisers are advertising more like 10–12,000, what with the potential spectre of COVID still hovering.
At the centre of the event, in the prestigious (and currently redeveloping) Grand exhibition hall at Olympia, is the Art of Compassion Project Art Exhibition, featuring vegan artists from across the globe, plus some of the history of the vegan movement and a number of animal sanctuaries and campaigns groups.
“At the heart of the vegan movement lies the animals. In and amongst the plethora of plant-based products and a steadily increasing influence of the ‘multinationals’ moving in on what was traditionally ‘independent’ ground, it’s important to keep the focus on the animals, whilst still reflecting the growth of plant-based products. VegfestUK London Olympia does just that’’ claim the organisers confidently.
Tickets are on sale in the autumn and the website is live for bookings in April 2022 – see www.vegfest.co.uk for updates.
