Brighton VegFest

Welcome to
VegfestUK
Brighton
one of Europe’s
biggest vegan
events
A big welcome to VegfestUK Brighton as this annual vegan lifestyle
show celebrates its 6th year of existence! As one of Europe’s biggest
and best veggie and vegan festivals, this event showcases the very
best of a 100% plant-based lifestyle in a friendly, informal, fun
atmosphere.
Definitely not to be missed are 135 stalls packed with awesome
vegan products, interesting global cuisines, free samples and
special discounts. There’re also dozens of talks, cookery demos,
workshops, short films, and lots of live entertainment including
comedy hours and music. There’re also a speed-dating session and
a bodybuilding competition on Saturday, followed by Family Day
on Sunday with kids activities popular with all ages.
We’re hugely honoured to have on board some very special guests,
including ex-Everton FC player Neil Robinson (the world’s 1st vegan
footballer), Goldblade frontman John Robb, raw food coach Saskia
Fraser (Raw Freedom), Amico Bio head chef Pasquale Amico, kids
entertainer Captain James Tea Cook and Harley St nutritionist
Yvonne Bishop-Weston amongst many interesting speakers and
performers.
Plus, VegfestUK are giving the Animal Welfare Party our full support
at Brighton, in their attempt to win a seat in the EU Parliament
at May’s 2014 EU Elections. You could find out more about their
progress at the talk on Saturday given by party leader Vanessa
Hudson, and participate at the AWP auction hosted by John Robb
and their party conference workshop on Sunday. You could then
contribute massively to their success by donating to them at the
gate, voting for them, or just spreading the message.
VegfestUK is running a
fundraising tombola for Vegfam.
Vegfam feeds the world’s hungry without animal
exploitation and is therefore an excellent choice of
charity for vegans. From the 7 shows that we have
organised since 2011, we have raised a grand total
of £6,903 for Vegfam. With another 3 shows in 2014,
we aim to raise even more funds for these guys who
have worked incredibly hard to provide the world’s
poorest with mankind’s basic need – vegan food. You
can support Vegfam by donating at our Tombola and
Goody Bags at stall no. 2 – see floor plan on page 25. More
on Vegfam at vegfamcharity.org.uk
Many thanks must go to our innumerable list of supporters over
the years – from our small hardworking team, our loyal sponsors,
stallholders and media partners, down to our dedicated security
team, generous stewards, welcoming venue hosts, together with
many others that have contributed to our success for the past
decade.

Sponsors
Massive gratitude to the following sponsors for Brighton this year – many of
whom have stuck with us through thick and thin and kept the show going :-)
Interview
Animal Welfare Party
The AWP is the UK’s 1st political party dedicated
to animals. They’re attempting to win a seat in
the EU Parliament in the May EU Elections. Let’s
make history for animals by voting for them!
animalwelfareparty.org
Interview with Animal
Welfare Party leader
Vanessa Hudson
Bute Island Foods
Proud creators of the “Sheese” vegan cheese brand,
Bute Island Foods have also launched their own
“Vegandeli” vegan mock meat range that has drawn
wide acclaim. buteisland.com
As the 2014 EU Parliamentary
Elections take place in less than 2
months’ time, we’re fully behind the
AWP’s attempt to win a seat. Here we
speak to party leader Vanessa Hudson
on her thoughts about the party and its
prospects at and after the elections.
Cocofina

several taste awards. Their natural sports drink
tastes great and has several other benefits due to

Fry’s
We set up in 2006 as Animals Count and contested 3 elections
under that name. We changed our name to the AWP in 2013. Our
mission is to create a fairer, more equitable society in which the
needs of people, animals and the environment are all properly
taken into account. That’s not happening at the moment and we’re
determined to change it.
JĀSÖN

UK. Products are vegetarian and vegan

delicious and sustainable meat alternatives
that are all registered with the Vegan Society.
plant-based-foods.ie

To date AWP is run entirely by volunteers of which there are many.
Often we’re working with limited resources so any help in terms of
time or donations is a huge one. This is movement with little money
but lots of passion, which we’re aiming to harness to make this
movement an unbeatable force.
When was the AWP set up and what are
its aims?
One of the world’s biggest producers of plant-based
meats savoured by plant-eaters, carnivores and
everyone in between! Outlets include Ocado, 3663,
Holland & Barrett and numerous independent
health stores. frysvegetarian.co.uk
Producers of a fantastic and healthy coconut milk
variety that’s dairy- and nut-free. Suitable for people
of all dietary persuasions. kokodairyfree.com
How many people are working to make
the AWP campaign successful?
Raw Chocolate Company
Proud producers of pure, organic, fairtrade, vegancertified and raw chocolates, with 3 product ranges:
Raw Chocolate Bars, Raw Chocolate Berries and
Supreme Foods. therawchocolatecompany.com
Suma Wholefoods
A radical and progressive vegetarian business
managed and owned by its dedicated workforce.
They supply a huge range of fairly traded, ethical
and organic products. suma.coop
Vegfund

lifestyle. vegfund.org

(winner of Ethical Consumer Magazine Best Buy
awards 4 times), to certified organic food products.
yaoh.co.uk
www.vegfest.co.uk
We’re standing in the London constituency at least, more
constituencies if funds allow. London is our target constituency
because of the high proportion of vegetarian and vegans there – a
group highly likely to support our policies. There are approximately
over 500,000 vegetarians in the London electorate and we need
just 140,000 votes to win a seat. The challenge is in spreading
the word as far wide as we can and in combating voter apathy,
particularly making sure younger people vote.
What would success in the EU Elections
mean?
Our party is part of a Pan-European movement that includes the
animal parties of the Netherlands, Germany, Spain and Portugal
– we’re all attempting to return dedicated representatives for
animals to the EU Parliament for the first time in history. This is a
moment in time as crucial as any in the history of human rights or
women’s rights. Our election success will send a message to the rest
of the world that man’s relationship with animals is changing, that
we are re-defining who we are and what we believe in. This is about
writing a new chapter in the history of humankind and, we believe,
no other party’s offering gives the electorate the same possibility of
making such a statement to the world.

AWP get elected

Wizard
For children 5+ and their families
“Spark, the Goblin Wizard, looks
like a hairy lizard. This furry
beast excels at casting magic
spells...”
Spark’s magic rhymes can turn
anything into anything. He’ll turn the bogeys up his nose into some
pink ribbons and bows. He’ll make a gorgeous high-heeled shoe
out of a pile of donkey poo... However, something terrible begins to
happen in the enchanted forest. Here be wasps, werewolves and
wily wickedness! Maybe not even Spark’s spells will be enough to
stop a strange new power threatening the woods and everyone
in them... With lyrics, laughs and lots of joining in, poet Dommy B
needs your help to save the day! dominicberry.net
John Robb – Vegans Don’t Wear Sandals
Goldbalde frontman John Robb will talk about punk rock, zen and
the universe as well as vegan power, food politics, the sexiness of
not eating meat, how vegans don’t wear sandals, how to remain
vegan on a world tour in his band and how he became vegetarian
in the concrete cultural wasteland of Blackpool in his youth where
men were men and cooking was for wimps and people who didn’t
eat meat were strange and fragile aliens, and how he took the vegan
oath and he may even cook something. twitter.com/johnrobb77

folk,” and musicians who “tell stories with their melodies”.

A string of live performances to savour from a variety of
musicians and entertainers, the Performance Area is on the
ground floor in the corner of the foyer near the food stalls
37-40. Sponsored by Yaoh.
Vegfest Open Mic
with Baz and Joe
Against the
Grain
Baz and Joe will play a few tracks
and will then open the stage up
to you guys. They’ll have a nice
silver microphone and a lovely
wooden guitar you can use and,
depending on how busy it is, you
can play 2-3 songs each. All acts all abilities - all styles - all ages - all
welcome. Names will be taken
from 1pm in the performance
area. brightonopenmics.co.uk
Against the Grain are:
Matt Sullivan (flamenco
guitar/cajon) and Jo May
(cajons, balafon - African
xylophone, spoons and
medieval style snare drum). They perform mostly original
tunes bringing together their different influences - Flamenco,
Latin, Jazz, African, Folk... They had a great summer of festivals
this year, including Broadstairs Folk Week and Sidmouth
Folk Week, and they’re currently recording their first album.

Ruth Hawe
Ben Godwin
Ruth has been a vegan
activist for over 40 years. Her
outreach is linked to ecological,
humanitarian
and
peace
initiatives as only united shall
we transcend our world’s
problems. Her novel “Holy
Cow”, launching at VegfestUK
Brighton, is an attempt to
penetrate the armour of public
resistance to necessary change
in eating habits. It is intentionally
seeded with core principles and
visionary inspiration within
the
entertaining
storyline.
vegantopia.co.uk
Proud owner of a voice three
sizes too big for his skinny,
bespectacled frame, Ben Godwin
writes songs that owe as much to
Allen Ginsberg and Terry Gilliam
as they do to more obvious
influences like Tom Waits and
Nick Cave. A veteran of New
York’s oddball Antifolk scene,
his debut album ‘Skin and Bone’
was memorably described as
sounding ‘like an evil clown
dancing on a broken piano’. Raw,
passionate, theatrical and whimsical by turns, Godwin’s songs are a
ragged cabaret stagger down some forgotten looking-glass Broadway.

Charlie Leavy
John Robb
At 17, Charlie has been writing &
singing her own songs for the last
couple of years. She mostly writes
with her Martin and occasionally
plays in a band as the bassist/lead
vocals.
Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music: “Out
there in Streaming Land there
are naturally gifted singers and
then there are the rest of us, and
you can tell within seconds that
Charlie Leavy belongs effortlessly
in the first category. In the coming
years she’ll be able to pick pretty
much any direction she wants
to and, with enough hard work,
make a success of it.”

Dominic Berry
Dominic Berry is the vegan, flamboyant, queer performance poet
from Manchester. He has performed his verse on BBC and Channel
4 and has been described by Benjamin Zephaniah as “Really very
inspiring”. Dominic’s highly energetic, comedic and powerful
words have won New York City’s infamous Nuyorican Poetry Cafe
slam and UK Superheroes of Slam. His set will include his prize
winning declaration “I’m Coming Out as Vegan”, alongside old and
new poems detailing Dominic’s relationship with diet and ethics.

Barbara Helen
“Barbara Helen is a charming vocalist, an accomplished guitarist
and an impressive songwriter.” - Danny Moore. R2 Rock n’ Reel.
(Four star review)
Barbara has had some lovely feedback from those who have seen
her perform, and can identify with her songs. Since she evolved to
follow a vegan lifestyle, her perception of the world has been a huge
shock to the emotions and inspired a collection of new songs that
are destined for her next release. barbarahelen.co.uk

Andre Menache
- Healthy
Consumerism
Juliet Gellatley
(Viva!) - Why You
Don’t Need Dairy
We live today in a sea of chemicals
and have around 300 in our bodies
that shouldn’t be there. All of these
chemicals were tested on animals
and given marketing approval on
the back of animal safety data. Some
of these substances are dangerous
for human health. Andre Menache,
director of consumer protection
organisation Antidote Europe, will
provide simple tips to avoid these
chemicals.
Viva! founder & director Juliet
Gellatley asks: is it natural to
consume cows’/goats’ milk after
weaning? She looks at many health
issues and new research showing
why dairy is linked to cancers,
heart disease, obesity, Alzheimer’s,
childhood anaemia, diabetes; how
natural growth hormones in milk
affect us; and the dangers of milk
proteins and saturated fats. She also examines the calcium myth,
the life of a dairy cow and the motives of the £6 billion dairy
industry. viva.org.uk

Plant-based nutrition vs Animal-based
nutrition
Many people think that eating solely plant-based foods is not
healthy and are still convinced that meat, dairy, fish and eggs are
a necessary part of our diet. But as this EVOLVE! film production
shows, by eating a variety of plant-based foods, it’s easy to get all
the nutrients we require, with the added bonus that plant-based
foods contain no saturated animal fat, no cholesterol and none of
the acidifying effects of animal derived foods.

Why vegan?
The True Cost of Food
This short video by EVOLVE! outlines
the rationale behind following a vegan

other incentives.

What We can Do to End
World Hunger
This EVOLVE! video explains that
meat-eating societies are the main cause of world hunger because
they feed a disproportionate percentage of the world’s crops to
the 60 billion land animals annually killed by the meat, dairy and
egg industries worldwide, and tens of billions of marine animals...
instead of the 7 billion people on the planet.

De Haas in Der
Marathon (‘the Pacer
in the Marathon’)
The Party for the Animals in the
Netherlands represents a new political
movement that values animal welfare
and the environment. “The foundation
of the party in October 2002 was
received with scepticism within
traditional politics. However, it quickly
appeared to function as ‘a pacer in the
marathon’ ”, recalls Marianne Thieme
- co-founder and party leader. This film provides an insight into
the public reception of this pioneering political movement, within
science, politics and media. dehaasindemarathon.nl/en
Dude, where do you get your protein?
Protein is the most revered nutrient of all and has driven our food
choices for over a hundred years. But what if (almost) everything

Fry’s
Fry’s are truly an inspiration to mankind. Based in South Africa,
they produce some of the world’s best vegan meat products that
are irresistible not only to veggies, vegans and meat reducers, but
even the most hardcore carnivores – who after every bite are left
bemused as to why they didn’t give vegan foods a chance before.
Not to be missed is their sublime chicken burger, a massive
favourite in the nation and particularly the VegfestUK office. It
won the VegfestUK 2011 award in the ‘Best Vegan Meat’ category. Its
texture and flavour are so incredibly similar to the real thing, that
it’s tempting to think that we’re actually biting into real chicken.
And it truly puts their meat-based chicken counterparts to shame
– both in terms of taste and ethics.
Thanks to the phenomenal work of Pat and Lisa Drummy from
Fry’s Distribution UK, Fry’s products are now widely available
across our nation. They can be found in Ocado and numerous
independent health shops as well as Holland and Barrett stores.
Fry’s UK distribution now reaches the 3663 chain, which means
that virtually no one has to miss out, not even the kids in schools
or those working in hospitals, prisons and universities. Just go and
demand that your workplace stocks these amazing gems!
Also topping many vegan meat charts are their innumerable
varieties of meat-free steaks, pies, sausages, rolls, schnitzels,
nuggets, and many other sumptuous creations. Their Pepper and
Steak Pie in particular has won over numerous discerning taste
buds and scooped last year’s VegfestUK award in the ‘Best veggie
meat product’ category.
The support that we have received from these guys cannot be
understated. Since our shows began 11 years ago, Fry’s UK have
given us extremely loyal and generous backing, even during the
not so good times. Our shows would never have taken off the way
they have now without Fry’s behind us. So all our heartfelt gratitude
must go to this tremendous brand and also to Pat and Lisa.

it’s naturally isotonic and contains potassium and sodium salts
that you normally lose during exercise. It contains twice as much
potassium as a banana and is loaded with vitamins and minerals.

namesake bird, the Magpie, they are inveterate hoarders and love
to have their collections displayed around them.
Vegan owned, their love of nature extends to their methods of
manufacture. All their products are vegan-friendly; they do not
manufacture using any animal products, whether that’s leather
or bone china. For them, it is incredibly important to know that no
animal has suffered or been killed to produce one of their products.
So their ceramics are all made from Porcelain which uses a mixture
of 3 clays, kaolin, quartz, and feldspar. They do not use Bone China
which is made from 50% animal bone, burnt and then ground up
and mixed with the clay.
All their bags and purses are made from animal friendly cotton,
pleather and polypropylene.
All their cards and notebooks are made from 100% recycled paper.
Their products are all listed and carry the Vegan Society logo.
They also donate 15% of every sale to their favoured charity ‘The
Cats Protection’. Because of their contributions, tens of thousands
of cats have been fed, cared for and hopefully re-homed with loving
families.
