VegfestUK Brighton 2023 Show Guide

Hello, and the warmest of welcomes to VegfestUK Brighton at The Brighton Centre! Returning after 5 years away when we hosted our last VegfestUK Brighton event in 2019, before COVID struck.

The event is packed with the best in plant based living including 120+ exhibitors, 70+ talks and workshops and as always, fabulous entertainment, comedy and artistic accomplishment - surely another wonderful outing for the whole family.

And the best part about it? The event is completely free to attend! Not registered for your free tickets yet? Just visit www.vegfest.co.uk/brighton-tickets!

Whether you’re new to plant based living, curious about the many benefits of the lifestyle, newly vegan or already a seasoned vegan, you’ll find plenty on offer at VegfestUK and the many features at the show.

2022 wasn’t an easy year for any of us, but we’re thrilled to be back in the vegan city once again for what we hope is a sunny celebration of all things vegan and plant-based. So get your tastebuds ready and open those minds in preparation for a wonderful weekend out in the vegan capital - Brighton on sea!
