I used to live in Leeds. In fact, I used to live in Armley. That’s right. The very neighbourhood playing host to one of the most exciting events in the Leeds this year!
So many memories are filed away of me mooching about on Armley Moor, which always seemed to be wet. Squelching aside, I have a lot of fond memories of my time in Leeds.
But back to this event.
Read more below.
Leeds Vegan Summer Festival is rolling into Project House on Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th August 2025, and I couldn’t be happier to see something so fabulous taking place in the heart of Yorkshire. For those not in the know, this is Yorkshire’s biggest vegan festival.
Two full days of vegan goodness. Sixty vegan vendors, live music all weekend, cooking demos, talks, workshops, craft ale, children’s activities, and some seriously top-notch food from all over. There’ll be cake. There’ll be smoothies. There’ll be sustainable fashion and handmade beauty bits.
Leeds Vegan Summer Festival will be bringing plant-based living to the streets of Leeds in an accessible, fun, and inclusive way. A proper weekend celebration that welcomes everyone, whether you’re a long-time vegan or just vegan-curious.
Massive love to the organisers for making this happen and keeping tickets affordable. £8 a day or £15 for the weekend is a bargain. And if you fancy splashing out, £25 gets you entry to both days and a goody bag bursting with samples, treats and discounts. Under 16s get in free, so it’s also a lovely one for families looking to do something a bit different.
If you’re anywhere near West Yorkshire this August, put it in your diary and make a weekend of it. Bring your mates. Bring your kids. Bring your non-vegan grandmother.
See you in Armley.
