Summer Festivals of 2017

For Me the summer isn't complete without a festival or two. Here's what we got up to in 2017 and all the amazing vegan places we found to eat.

The first festival of the year and one of my favorites is Glastonbury which was at the end of June.


Unlike 2016 with all the mud, Glasto' 2017 was a heatwave. It was so nice to be able to get around without getting stuck and worn out.
There is so much to see and do at Glastonbury from bands, poets, acrobats and there is even a kids field filled with lots for them to do. There are also a lot of food stalls around with some offering vegan options, but there are some completely vegan caterers which made life so much easier. These include:
Veggies of Nottingham
Vegan Pyramid
Club Mexicana
Happi Maki
The Fritter Shack (vegan options)
Labonne Crepe (vegan options)
No Bones Jones (vegan Options)
Pan De Mania Wood Fired Pizza (vegan options)
Gandhi's Flip-Flop (vegan Options)
Goodness Gracious (vegan options)
Buddhafield Cafe

There are probably many more but these are the ones I can remember, also we didn't have time to visit them all  but its good to see that there are so many places to grab a Vegan bite to eat.

Next on the list was Latitude festival.


Latitude is a pretty chilled out festival, again with lots to see and do.
There's the Comedy Tent, Spoken Word Tent, Magical Forest, Dance music in the Woods, to name a few. There really is something for everyone.
There wasn't a huge selection of vegan options at this festival, but we were pleasantly surprised when we came across The Vegan Food Pod (our hero's for the weekend). They did everything from yummy cake to amazing Curries. Sorry was too busy eating to take many pics.

There was also The Happy Maki but we didn't get a chance to eat here as the queue's were always really long.

Next up and important to help us keep cool were Lickalix who did the most amazing ice lollies, they even had some adult only ices, so everyone was catered for.



We also paid a visit to the Oatly stand, who were giving out free t-shirts and temp tattoo's for the Post Milk Generation. You could also buy some Oatly based drinks. They always seemed really busy whenever we passed by.



The final festival of 2017 was The Green Gathering in Chepstow.
The weather for this one wasn't brilliant, with gale force winds when we turned up, which was fun trying to set up our tent, it also decided that it was going to rain on and off all weekend but that's just one of those things.
Like other festivals there was lots to see and do here.

We saw the Antipoet twice while at the Green Gathering and love them as they are very different. We even saw them at Glastonbury without realising......They are well worth checking out.

There was plenty of arts and crafts around for people to enjoy. Its amazing what you can find when you go for a wander. We even came across a Unicorn....

We even got to see an amazing moon while we were here too.


So these are my top three festivals that we were at in 2017. We did attend other Vegan Festivals throughout the year all over the UK which were all amazing .
We look forward to all the Festivals in 2018.

Thankyou for viewing my blog i hope you enjoyed VB80

The Vegan Hippo

What an amazing place to visit. Not only is the food amazing but they are completely Vegan. On our recent visit we tried their new Sticks of Joy which was Jackfruit with mushrooms, pepper, aubergine, and onion with a side helping of relish. It was so yummy and had a small hint of spice, i could have eaten alot more of these. Nomnomnom. We then had spicy courgette burger. It was very nice with plenty of spice, wasn't really my thing as I'm not a courgette lover but it was still good. The Jackfruit burger was yummy and really filling but really messy as it didn't want to stay in the burger bun at all.....i would highly recommend giving this a go though, just make sure you have plenty of napkins. The bean burger with onion and garlic sauce was amazingly yummy and would defo recommend it to anyone. It tasted as good as it looks. For pudding we opted for a vanilla slice. I haven'...

Purezza Brighton

Firstly i would like to thank Purezza for inviting Myself, VeganBlogger78 and VeganBabeLife   to come along to review their amazing food. The menu looked amazing and it was difficult to decide what to have. I did like the fact that the menu clearly stated which dishes were nut free (which is very helpful having a nut allergy) For starters we chose: VBL. Focaccia strips and cheese Served with a selection of dips including hummus, pesto and caramelised beet/onion. VB78. Cheese bites, Six delightful dough balls, loaded with lashings of melty coconut cheese. Me. Garlic bread with cheese. Classic garlic bread, loaded with garlic puree with rosemary & optional cheese.  Cheesy Garlic bread need i say moor. nomnomnom For our main meal we chose: VBL. Indigo Island:  Roasted purple sweet potato, freshly cut pineapple & pea pancetta. VB78. One Night in Bangkok: White base, with stir fri...
