About this Event
Tyneside Vegan and Music Festival
Well, it’s that time of the year again, our amazing Tyneside Vegan and Music Festival is returning for the 5th year. We can’t wait to see you all again!
We have nearly 60 stalls for you with a wide range of traders and groups. We want to make sure that there is something for everyone! We have animal rights groups and social justice charities as well as independent and larger traders with craft stalls, artisan stalls, sweet treats, gifts, clothing, accessories and much more.
We have a fantastic food offer with hot and cold food and drink available throughout the day. We also have Ness from Binky Boo Macrame doing macramé making workshops (book in advance to be sure of a place - we will contact you via email to book you into either the 12.30 or 1.30 session).
It is a family friendly event and we have a children’s activity table where you can leave your younger ones free of charge while you wander the event (DBS’d volunteers).
It is also a dog-friendly event and all well-behaved dogs on leads are very welcome.
We will have a number of fundraisers going on including a draw for fabulous prizes from Will’s Vegan Shoes, Vegan Happy, Square Roots, The Good Apple Café as well as a fabulous vegan hamper and many more prizes.
Our original festival had music in as background music but was so popular we have given it its rightful equal billing (but in the process confused a few people – see * at the end!)
So we have fantastic musical and poetry performances throughout the day with some returning artists (due to popular request) and some new ones. All of the performers will be available before and after their performance to talk to visitors and to grab a selfie with.
Our festival aims to:
Make veganism accessible to those who are curious
Create a safe-space for existing vegans
To raise money for NEAR and all of the other charities taking part – including Animals Asia North East and Millington’s Magical Barn who will share 25% of our net profits.
To promote live music
To help animal groups talk about their work and recruit new volunteers.
