I’ve been hosting and helping to run events in London for about 15 years.
A huge focus of my activism is to create social spaces that help people feel celebrated within their choice to explore veganism, while also garnering support for independent businesses.
As 2025 comes to an end and we start looking toward the new year, I wanted to remind you of some of the events I am involved with in the hope I’ll see you there.
Read more below.
Queer Open Mic
This monthly event isn’t strictly a vegan event, however it is run by two vegans! Josh and I started this showcase for LGBTQ+ performers about three years ago and it is still going strong. Even if you are not a member of the LGBTQ+ community, you are welcome to join as an audience member each month at The Cock Tavern in Kennington. Next event is Sunday December 21st, 2025 from 5:30pm until 8:30pm. You can join the Meetup group online here.
NYE with FGV
Once again I am joining forces with beloved vegan venue Karamel of Wood Green to throw my big New Year’s Eve party. We will have a room for karaoke and a room for board games, plus a DJ spinning tunes while the kitchen serves dinner until 10pm and bar snacks until 3am. Click here to book your tickets.
Veganuary Fest in East London
I am teaming up with Signature Brew at their Blackhorse Road Brewery to host a super fun Veganuary market. You can expect indpendent vegan food traders and drinks from our host venue. Come along from midday on Saturday January 24th, 2026 until the evening. Entry is free if you book your tickets online here.
Veganuary Supper Club near Old Street
Photobook Cafe is going vegan for the night of Saturday January 10th, 2026 as I team up with Grateful Pies for a three-course vegan Canadian supper club. The main dish featuring French Canadian pie and gravy will knock your socks off. Extremely limited seating so book now online.
Sanctuary Supper Club at Unity
I’m back at the legendary Unity Diner on Monday February 2nd, 2026 to help raise money for Surge Sanctuary. These special one-night-only menus have been the talk of the town and you don’t want to miss this first outing for the new year. Click here to book tickets.
Hopefully see you at one or more of these exciting community events!
