Vegan Events UK is delighted to announce that it is holding two Vegan Festivals in Scotland this autumn. As part of its expanded festival calendar for 2025, Glasgow Vegan Festival will take place on Saturday 18 October and Edinburgh Vegan Christmas Festival on Saturday 29 November. Each festival will feature over 80 epic vegan stalls, global cuisine, decadent cakes and desserts, expert talks and live demonstrations, ethical fashion, cruelty-free beauty and nutrition secrets.
The Glasgow and Edinburgh Vegan Festivals are a fabulous opportunity for vegan businesses and businesses with plant-based and vegan-friendly products, and charities and organisations from Glasgow, Edinburgh, central Scotland and the rest of Scotland, to connect with their target audience and celebrate and promote a vegan lifestyle.
Founder of Vegan Events UK and festival organiser Victoria Bryceson says, “Over 10 years, we’ve worked with hundreds of traders nationwide specialising in ethical and sustainable vegan products. From vegan food and delicious cakes to sustainable fashion and animal welfare charities – if you offer something special, we want to hear from you. Join our thriving community of like-minded businesses and be part of a marketplace that makes a difference.”
Victoria continues, “Our festivals offer a one-stop destination where people can discover amazing plant-based products, support small family-run businesses, and see just how delicious, accessible, and varied vegan living can be. If you’re selling food, clothes, cosmetics, skincare, jewellery, eco-conscious or any other vegan products, we can’t wait to hear from you.”
Stalls and catering pitches can be booked online by visiting www.veganeventsuk.co.uk/trade and selecting ‘Book a Stall’ for your chosen event. All hot food caterers have a 4m x 2m space including 2 x 6ft tables and chairs if required. Prices are £240 per event for caterers, including electric and VAT. Stall prices per festival are £120 for businesses, £100 for large or national charities and £80 for small charities; tables and chairs are included.
As well as booking a stall at an event, there are sponsorship and sampling opportunities available for businesses and organisations.
Businesses and organisations can also sponsor a festival. Sponsorship costs are £80 per event.
