Reading Vegan Festival is our annual flagship event.

The seventh festival will be taking place on Saturday 21st September 2024 at 11am-4pm in the town centre on Market Place, Broad Street and inside The Market House. 

It will be a friendly environment where you can sample and buy a range of delicious vegan food, dairy-free cakes, artisan cheezes, natural skincare, beautiful homeware, unique gifts and much more. There will also be a programme of interesting speakers.

The first ever festival took place in 2017 and we've been taking the town by storm since with over 2500 people attending each year! We want to create an event that supports fully vegan businesses, and provides a safe space for vegans and non-vegans alike to find out more about this compassionate lifestyle. Community and ethics is at our heart so each year we support 'RVF Causes' where we donate a stall to a local animal rights group, showcase the work of several fantastic charities, and raise money for vegan education/animal sanctuaries/worthy causes.

Reading Vegan Festival wouldn't be possible without our amazing volunteers, incredible speakers and fantastic stallholders. If you would like to volunteer at this year's festival then please contact us or complete the form here.

We look forward to seeing you there!
