Ruth Semple, Alex Douglas, and Ben Hewitt attended Brecknock Road Vegan Festival in London, interviewing trademark holders, members of the public, Vegan Society members, and volunteers for a new film about the international Vegan Trademark.
A vegan festival held outdoors for the first time, the event was a real first for London and a great way to encourage local businesses to take notice of vegans.
Local stores and restaurants promoted their vegan goods and services, while vegan hot dog vendors The Mighty Fork served their speciality hot dogs outdoors, keeping the masses satisfied. Ethical boutique The Third Estate also hosted the official launch of Wills Vegan Shoes.
Of course, being an outdoor event in the UK, it rained a lot. But it was going to take more than cold, wet, and wintry conditions to deter London vegans and their friends on a mission to show how easy shopping for vegan products can be.
Despite the heavy rain, the team of Vegan Society volunteers were excellent. They welcomed everyone to The Vegan Society’s stall with a smile on their face, and were happy to offer advice.
