All bags are not created equal

Is there anything more exciting than getting a swag bag full of treats? Well, what if I said the treats were all vegan?

Now we’re talking!

My 2nd Annual Day of the Dead supper club is quickly approaching and there are plenty of reasons why you would want to be there:

  • A welcome cocktail featuring hibiscus, tequila and agave syrup
  • Five courses of delicious vegan food made to authentic Mexican recipes
  • Ingredients supplied by Cool Chile Co – the best Mexican food company in the UK
  • A prize for best dressed attendee courtesy of Vegan Faces make up
  • Gorgeous decorations including a día de los muertos altar
  • Projected visuals and Mexican pop music
  • Your host Fat Gay Vegan (that’s me!) in a Mexican wrestling mask all night

You want another reason to book a ticket right now? No? OK, go here! But if that isn’t enough for you, keep reading.

You’ve heard all the hype and you’ve survived my incessant tweets. Now it is almost time for London Vegan Beer Fest to explode onto the capital.

The beer is being brewed, the BBQ menu has been planned and the karaoke machine is loaded with songs. July 13th, 2013 is going to be a day London vegans and their friends will never forget.

But for some attendees, the memories will be even sweeter.

Tickets have been split into four categories. The general admission pre-sale tickets sold out a few days ago, you can get in on the day for £10 after 1pm and £5 after 6pm (depending on space) and then of course there are the VIP Golden Keg tickets.

These precious tickets cost £25 and are your pass to a good time with plenty of benefits. Holders of the VIP tickets gain earlybird entry from midday (an hour before everyone else), get to choose one pint of beer, will be fed one item from the vegan BBQ and get to chill out in two exclusive reserved seating areas.

That’s pretty cool, right? Well, it gets better.

Every VIP ticket holder will also be given a limited London Vegan Beer Fest goodie bag stuffed with treats and special deals.

See below for the full list of included bag treats and then hurry to the ticket page to order one of these limited edition tickets. At time of writing, there were only eight VIP tickets remaining. Be quick!
