A vegan camping festival is coming to the Midlands and its set to be the UKs biggest

The food situation at festivals used to be dire but thankfully there are now more options, even for vegan folks.

And now theres a whole festival dedicated to all things plant-based.

Well, the event, Vegan Camp-out, has been around since 2016 but its only getting bigger and badder (in a good way).

Organisers have said its the worlds largest vegan camping festival. So were definitely on board.

Last years festivities saw a line-up of celebs which included Simon Amstell, JME, Macka B, Neal Barnard, Melanie Joy, Heather Mills.

This year, you can expect all the great stuff plus delicious new plant-based foods at the event happening in Newark Showground, Nottinghamshire.

What a time to be alive.

Organiser Jordan Martin, from Derby, started the whole thing three years ago in a field, attended by 400 people.

He said there were no social spots for vegans to hang out.

Since then the event has taken off, having amassed 5,000 guests last year.

I found there were these events where you pay £3 and try the food but no event that really saw like-minded vegans get together, he told Leicestershire Live.

And thats what the camp-out is about. Were expecting to have around 7000 people attend this year.
