Well, summer is just around the corner, although with the predicted 50 days of rain, it might not feel like it. As the raindrops patter on your windows, here are some fun festival ideas to keep you going through the embers of spring
First up is Vegandale on Saturday 13 July in Clapham Common, London from 11am to 8pm. Go from teatime until close and entry is only £12. They promise 75 traders from around the world, free samples, an all-day DJ and interactive artwork for those plant-based selfies. London is one of two UK stops (the other is Manchester later in the year) on their annual journey around the UK and North America (Chicago, Toronto, Miami, Dallas, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and New York) aiming to show that the vegan world has all the fun of our current world, just without using animals.
| Want something more like a weekend festival and you're happy to travel? Second on our list is Vegan Camp Out in Bicester from 26 to 29 July. Line-up includes Simon Amstell, Kate Nash and Chris Packham or for Drag Race fans, Bimini. With that line-up, and house and techno DJs, there should be enough to keep it bouncey. |  |
Or want to go somewhere further afield to what is said to be the world’s greenest festival in Norway? It’s from 6th to 10th August. It’s not 100% vegan, so it’s more for the flexitarians, but food vendors only serve organic food and there is no red meat at all and plenty of plant-based options, there are zero single use plastics, waste is hand-sorted and the arena is run fossil-fuel-free. Line-up includes Andre 3000, Janelle Monae and Jessie Ware A 4-day pass is roughly £300, but there are various options for 2-day passes and day tickets. The English website isn’t yet up-and-running, so booking a ticket is going to be all part of the fun!
