Sheffield Vegan Festival coming to Sheffield College this Sunday
Vegan Events UK is getting ready for this Sunday’s Sheffield Vegan Festival at The Sheffield College. This extravaganza will provide the ultimate inspiration for vegans, vegetarians, flexitarians, those thinking about going vegan or wanting to include more vegan products in their diet – everyone is welcome. The event on Sunday October 12 will feature over 60 epic vegan stalls, global cuisine, decadent cakes and desserts, expert talks, workshops, ethical fashion, cruelty-free beauty and nutrition secrets. And with free entry for accompanied under-16s, it is ideal for families.
Talks and workshops include Adopting Animals from Abroad with Miracle’s Mission’s wonderful Rehoming and Behaviour manager, Emma who will be talking about all the reasons to adopt disabled animals and why the work of the charity is worth supporting. Emma is a qualified canine behaviourist with over five years experience of training and rescuing dogs from the Middle East and has helped re-home and sustain placements for some of the most marginalised and vulnerable animals.
Talks and workshops include Understanding Your Protein Needs as a Vegan: Separating Fact from Fiction which will focus on the protein needs of vegans, breaking down how much is truly required, the difference between complete and incomplete proteins, and the best whole-food plant sources. Mind Matters will focus on what you need to know about ageing health, with top tips on thriving into old age as a vegan. And join Sam from Advocacy for Pigeons for The Hidden Suffering of Pigeons: How to Catch a Pigeon in Need of Help. Plus Muay Thai coach Benny Green will lead an energizing session that blends power, technique, and mindfulness. Having lived, trained, and fought in Thailand for a year, Benny brings authentic Muay Thai training to the festival.
