• Radical Veganism – with talks exploring why it’s necessary to address animal rights as an interconnected social movement, hosted by animal rights educator Christopher Sebastian.

The organisers added, “Since the inception of VegfestUK Brighton, the show has enjoyed plenty of interest from visitors from all backgrounds, and it’s a pleasure to offer our platform to experts in the fields of animal rights, health, permaculture, yoga and radical veganism, who will undoubtedly take the depth and breadth of topics discussed at VegfestUK to the next level. We are really looking forward to working with the aforementioned groups in delivering a quality programme of sessions and thus ensuring a memorable weekend for all in 2019.”
