Scotland Vegan Festival coming to Paisley this summer

From the-gazette.co.uk/news

The Scotland Vegan Festival is due to be held at the Lagoon Sports Centre in Paisley on Saturday, July 12th.

Running from 10.30am to 4.30pm, the family-friendly event will feature over 80 stalls, world food caterers, and live cookery demonstrations, offering something for all those with an interest in a plant-based diet. 

Victoria Bryceson, festival organiser, said: "I'm really excited about this year’s Scotland Vegan Festival.

"I'm sure that people in Paisley, Renfrewshire, Glasgow, and beyond will enjoy the stalls, talks, workshops, and atmosphere.

"We look forward to welcoming everyone, not just vegans, to the festival. Our goal is to continue to bring vegans and non-vegans together, to support local vegan businesses, and to show just how easy it is to be vegan."

Food stalls will be set up to offer visitors a variety of cooked foods, pies, cakes, chocolates, sandwiches, and salads.

Beauty and skincare products, candles, cheeses, jewellery, crafts, healthy treats, sweet treats, clothing, drinks, juices, smoothies, charity merchandise, and free samples will also be available.

Featured stalls include Miracle’s Mission, a non-profit animal welfare charity that works with sick, injured, and disabled animals throughout the world. 

Local stallholders include Lanarkshire's Baby Blue Bee Bunnies, a non-profit welfare organisation that rescues, rehabilitates, and rehomes rabbits across the country. 

Other local businesses include Glasgow's Nicki's Aromatics, which makes aromatherapy home fragrance products, and Of Loch And Sea, which produces handcrafted jewellery and accessories made from sea glass, sea pottery, and driftwood found on the beach.

The event is sponsored by Gut Punch, a Scottish company specialising in plant-based fermented foods and drinks.

Advance tickets for the festival are available from the Vegan Events UK website.

Standard tickets are £5 (under 16s free) and VIP tickets are £15, including fast-track entry and a goody bag full of vegan products, samples, discounts, and offers.

Standard tickets will also be available for purchase on the door.
