Whether you're vegan, an aspiring vegan or just vegan curious, there's only one place to be on Saturday 27th October 2012
11am - 6pm @ The Wolves Civic
The West Midlands Vegan Festival will offer all you need for healthy, cruelty-free, eco-friendly living. You don't have to be vegan to attend, everyone is welcome! Come and see why people are increasingly adopting a vegan lifestyle.
The 2011 festival was bursting at the seams, with over 1,700 visitors! As a result of the event's increasing popularity, the 2012 festival will spread into a second large hall, providing an extra 400 square metres of floorspace to spread out, browse the stalls and enjoy the many attractions!!
Venue - Wolves Civic Hall
The festival is being held at the Wolverhampton Civic Hall in the city centre, 10 minutes walk from the train/bus stations. Click here for a map, directions, car parks etc.
The festival will be open from 11am - 6pm. Admission is just £1 (under 16's free), payable at the door.
Floorplans
The following 3 floorplans tell you where to find the stall you're looking for and also help you to find your way around the large venue. These floorplans will also be available on the day in the printed programme and displayed on posters.
Civic Hall - The large majority of stalls are in here
Wulfrun Hall - Most catering stalls, cookery demos, kids activities and a few other stalls are in here
Venue Map - Find your way around the whole venue, including to the entertainment, all vegan bar, alternative therapy, talks etc.
Sponsors Wanted!
Would your company/organisation like to sponsor the festival? Would you be interested in donating items for our goodie bags, raffle prizes, food samples etc? You could help to ensure the event is a massive success and in return, we will promote you on this website and in the event programme to be handed out on the day. If you can help, please contact us.
Previous Festivals
Our first festival was staged on Sat 1st November 2008 (World Vegan Day) in the Wulfrun Hall. 1,200 people flocked to the event throughout the day. Click here to read more about the festival and see lots of photos.
Our second festival took place on Sat 24th October 2009, again in the Wulfrun Hall. People queued to get in long before the doors opened. The festival was bigger than the year before, with more talks and cookery demos and a dedicated entertainment room! Click here to see our gallery of photos.
Our third festival on Saturday 30th October 2010 was 50% bigger than the previous year, with 90 stalls & over 20 talks! Moving into the much larger Civic Hall paid off as we attracted a total of 1,500 visitors. Star of TV's Emmerdale, Roxanne Ghawam-Shahidi, opened the festival as an estimated 300 people queued to get in!!
Our fourth festival took place on Sat 29th October 2011. The event attracted a record 1,700 visitors and was bursting at the seams throughout the day!!
As a result of the event's increasing popularity, the 2012 festival will fill both the Civic and Wulfrun Halls(as well as a further 6 smaller rooms for talks etc), so there'll be lots more room to spread out, browse the stalls & enjoy all the attractions!!
