High-end Vegan and Gluten-Free Afternoon Teas
With VEGANISSIMA- Chef Danielle’s newly released cookbook, Vegan and gluten-free afternoon teas have now reached a level of excellence and creativity – each recipe tells a story and holds a special place in our traditions and culture.
VEGANISSIMA also celebrates the diversity of plants, herbs, flowers, spices – and even vegetables – in vegan pastry, putting these ingredients centre stage.
VEGANISSIMA also takes on the challenge of proving that gluten-free pastry can be just as delicious and look fantastic

Vegan Women’s Club: Together We Are Stronger
Vegan Women’s Club: Together We Are Stronger
Expect laughter, heartfelt stories and plenty of inspiration as Vegan Women’s Club brings vegan women together to share their voices, experiences and passion.
Our previous stage sessions have shown just how powerful our stage sessions can be.
Vegfest UK Bristol was absolutely packed and dynamic, with fantastic energy and connection. Birmingham brought tears, laughter and a wonderful sense of empowerment. Our session at Vegfest London last year was deeply moving, with personal stories that stayed with us long after everyone left the stage.
Each session offers a welcoming space where fellow vegan women can share a little about themselves, celebrate something positive and speak about what matters to them. Some stories are uplifting, others deeply emotional. Together, they reveal the strength, compassion and determination of vegan women, and the difference we can make.
You do not need to run a business, lead a campaign or have a public profile to have something valuable to share. Every woman brings her own experiences, ideas and perspective. Come along to listen, connect and enjoy being among women who share your values.
Founded by Karin Ridgers and Victoria Featherstone Pearce, Vegan Women’s Club launched in 2025. Since then we have brought women together through regular online meetups and in person events, creating opportunities for friendship, support and connection.
We are proud to have the support of our wonderful ambassadors: Heather Mills, Jasmine Harman, Dr Shireen Kassam, Juliet Gellatley and Wendy Turner-Webster.
We welcome vegan women of all ages, from all over the world. Whether you have been vegan for decades or are just beginning, there is a place for you in our community.
We are so excited to have this stage space, with super thanks and love to Vegfest for giving vegan women the opportunity to be heard, celebrated and connected.
Together we are stronger.
