Vegan yoga retreat in Dorset

by

If you are looking for a wonderful weekend away within the UK, this vegan yoga retreat in Dorset might just be the spot for you.

My friend Louise Wallis is not only one of the most ferociously-amazing vegan activists on the planet, she is also the owner of her own yoga, pilates and movement business called Mind Body Zone.

If you are interested in learning about Louise’s approach to melding yoga and veganism, you can book a spot on this exclusive retreat taking place this September in the gorgeous Dorset countryside.

What does the retreat include?

  • 3 x days and 2 x nights full-board accommodation in a beautiful eco-Retreat
  • Exclusive use of the venue & all facilities, including swimming pool
  • 6 x Yoga / Meditation / Relaxation classes
  • Delicious vegan meals prepared by the resident Chef (mainly organic & local produce)
  • Complimentary gift bag
  • Free WiFi and parking

I had a quick look over on the booking page and the retreat is booking up fast.

You really couldn’t wish for a more wonderful person to be in the company of for a few days. Louise is sure to make this a retreat to remember.

FGV at a festival

by

I’m doing my best to spread the vegan word and my latest collaboration is going to spread it to a lot of people to whom I’ve yet to spread it.

I have been invited by the good people of Bestival to curate a vegan food corner!

What is Bestival?

Bestival is a multi-day festival combining live music, DJ sets, performance, art, visuals, and so much, much more. It is billed as the most colourful show on Earth and it has something for everyone… and then some!

The 2018 outing of Bestival takes place at the stunning Lulworth Estate in Dorset on August 2, 3, 4 and 5.

The musical line up is fantastic with announced acts including Grace Jones, M.I.A., Plan B and London Grammar.

But what about FGV and this vegan food corner?

Each year, Bestival hosts a food tent called Feast Collective and this year they are adding a vegan corner curated and hosted by me! I’m so thrilled to be asked to bring a handful of my favourite vegan food traders together in one spot to make sure no vegan at the festival is left behind.

It will also be a wonderful way for me and the traders to do a spot of sassy vegan outreach to non-vegan festival goers who will be tempted by an amazing line up of succulent things to consume.

If you have always wanted to go to a summer music festival but were worried there would be nothing to eat, Bestival 2018 is for you.

The four-day event is obviously centred around camping (like all good summertime festivals) and there are plenty of options to explore in this regard. I will be on site for most of the festival and would love your company.

Click here to visit the official Bestival website where you can explore entertainment line up, tickets, payment plans (yes!), and all other relevant information.

Extra note: I forgot to mention this earlier but I will also be presenting a talk in the Bestival Literary Tent on one of the days. It will be loosely based on my book Fat Gay Vegan: Eat, Drink and Live Like You Give a Sh!t.

Good times!

UK village gets a vegan fair!

by

Thinking of hosting a vegan festival or fair in your town but unsure of getting a good number of people along?

The UK village of Lyndhurst  in Hampshire is making sure you have no excuse. If they can do it in a village with a population of between 3,000 and 4,000 people, anyone can do it anywhere.

If you are anywhere near Hampshire and the New Forest on April 30, 2016, make sure you get along to support this wonderful initiative being undertaken by Dorset Vegan and New Forest Vegans .

There will be approximately 40 stalls and plenty of delicious vegan food to consume at the first ever New Forest Vegan Fair. It is the perfect place to drag non-vegan friends along to and there will be lots of persuasive and informative fact sheets for you to slip into their bags.

The cost of entering is just £3 but if you are under 14 and are hanging out with an adult, you get in for free. Do show up early on the day. I know I said it is hosted in a village, but thousands of people will be coming from all over the region.
