What is it?
VegfestUK is a free festival dedicated to all things veggie with live music, food and plenty of stalls to peruse.
The music and entertainment line-up includes Jamaican reggae singer Johnny Clarke & Soothsayers headlining the Sunday slot, supported by recently reformed original Bristol reggae act Talisman, whilst on Friday Neville Staple of The Specials heads up a ska line-up that also includes local Bristol acts. Saturday sees local heroes Dub Mafia live on stage, plus a rare appearance in Bristol from Finley Quaye.
There’s also an intriguing looking Ready Steady Chef competition involving local chefs cooking off against each other, and a Great Veggie Burger and Sausage competition involving lot of tasting and judging by the audience.
A dedicated Kids Area (complete with kids cookery classes), The Animal Sanctuary (featuring people who work with animals), a comedy & chillout tent, crazy golf course and 3 performance stages with acoustic acts on throughout the day should make it an interesting festival for everyone.
