VegfestUK Brighton 26 – Tickets on Sale

VegfestUK Brighton returns to one of the UK’s vegan capitals on Saturday November 7th 2026 from 11am – 6pm at The Hilton Metropole for what promises to be one of the most enthralling vegan events of the year, and one of the biggest with 120 stalls, 3 talks areas, performance stage and 40 speakers and performers amongst the highlights, spread across 3 large halls and two floors, all fully carpeted and allowing for a superb visitor experience with an abundance of seating areas alongside a dedicated vegan food village and campaigns area.

‘The Hilton Metropole is a most excellent venue for Vegfest, and we are looking forward to welcoming thousands of visitors to the event, which sees Vegfest return to the city after a gap of 3 years. Vegfest started in Brighton in 2009 and ran for 11 consecutive years until the end of last decade and ensuing lockdowns, and the return is marked by an outstanding collective of independent traders, campaigns groups, speakers and performers and of course the star of every vegan event – a most amazing collection of plant-based food throughout the show including our dedicated vegan food village featuring up to 15 street food caterers and some superb artisan plant based options of the highest calibre. Expect to be entertained, uplifted, inspired and extremely well fed at Vegfest Brighton.‘

Guest speakers at the event include actor Peter Egan, well-known for his support for a number of animal projects, and entrepreneur and world record holder Heather Mills will also be in attendance along with her new food firm No Bloat. Danielle Maupertuis is a vegan pastry chef par excellence and will be talking about her new book Veganissima, and Dr Andrew Knight will be delivering some recent research into cats and dogs and plant-based diets. Comedians Dawn Chorus and Andrew O’Neill provide the entertainment along with international singing star Gemma Doyle and guitarists David Camilli and David Robinson, alongside a further 40 speakers and performers covering a whole spectrum of vegan, animal rights and plant-based lifestyles.

‘Brighton is a great city to host an event of this scale, always receptive, supportive and engaging and we can’t wait to bring some of the very best of the UK vegan collective to town and share a day full of inspiration, education, entertainment and uplifting products, people and projects at such an incredible venue – Brighton, we’re ready for you!’

 The event is sponsored by a number of leading vegan businesses including main sponsors Healthy HR. “We’re really excited to be sponsoring VegfestUK Brighton and to have the opportunity to connect with the wider vegan business community” says founder Yasmin Neves. ”As a vegan founder-led HR consultancy, this feels really aligned for us. Healthy HR is all about helping businesses have healthier conversations, build strong foundations and support their people properly as they grow. We know that many independent businesses reach a point where employing people becomes both exciting and daunting, and we’d love to bring practical, human HR support to traders and organisations within the Vegfest collective.”
