If you are new to the Vegan Kids Festival you may be wondering what it’s all about.
The Vegan Kids Festival is a fun and friendly family festival filled with creativity and a chance to celebrate veganism while being surrounded by like-minded people.
The Vegan Kids Festival is a weekend camping festival and also has options to visit as a day guest.
We highly recommend coming for the whole weekend to get the most out of the event.
Year one was such a joyous event and we received such great feedback from our guests.
From theatre to crafts, forest schools to live music, walkabout characters and inspiring workshops, there is so much to do.
One of the best things about the festival is surrounding yourself with like-minded people and for your children to meet other kids just like them.
“We had the best time, made loads of new friends, went to so many different acts/shows/crafts/events and ate well. Totally blown away by how wonderful it all was.”
From morning to night, there was something going on, great food to eat and new friends to make.
We were so blessed to be joined by such greats acts, that provided non stop entertainment.
Being out in beautiful surroundings, allowing kids to be free surrounded by friends, is why we do this.
It’s so nice to watch the children play, watch and learn from other inspiring vegans.
It’s our aim to inspire the next generation of vegans and give them the tools they need to stand up for the animals, while having fun and making friends.
When we asked what was the best thing about our 2022 festival you said….
“Like minded people.”
“Being around vegan parents and the interesting conversations this sparked.”
“Watching the children thrive in an environment where they weren’t made to feel different.”
“The opportunity for vegan children to listen to young successful vegan people speak about their experience was priceless.”
“Meeting other families and my kids making new friends.”
“I liked the idea of our kids being able to identify with other vegan children.”
“Finding kindred spirits.”
“Being around other vegans.”
“Meeting other families and my child playing with other children.”
