There are plenty of one-day vegan-friendly festivals happening these days.

But finally, a proper plant-based weekender is set to happen in the UK this August – and it’s also going to be waste free.

No Planet B is being billed as the UK’s first zero-waste vegan festival, due to take place in the Cotswolds on 17-19 August.

Currently being crowdfunding on Kickstarter, the three-day extravaganza describes itself as ‘TED Talk meets music festival’, with classes, workshops and talks by people like vegan activist James Aspey, and She Grows Wild founder, Louise Smith.


‘The more you learn about these movements, the more you see how intrinsically linked they all are,’ the festival organisers say.

‘Minimalists, Vegans and Zero-Wasters coming together and sharing their knowledge to create a greener future. Ethical consumerism, permaculture and awareness are all part of this festival and the wider picture. We are creating a space to move into this future.’



There’ll be permaculture, yoga, relaxation, stalls, great vegan food and ‘definitely not a plastic cup in sight’.

Food will be provided by Shakey Shakey, Epic Veg Kitchen, En Root, Vegals and many more vendors.

‘We envisioned a place where like-minded eco-warriors could all relax and enjoy sharing their expertise and life experiences in a beautiful stress-free environment,’ organisers continue.

‘We could’ve launched a day event in London, but it just wouldn’t have offered the complete experience we were after.

‘We needed to be in the open countryside breathing in fresh air, taking time to digest and integrate learning into everyday activities like yoga, eating, relaxing whilst having fun with friends.

‘Trying to live a Vegan, Zero Waste and Minimalist lifestyle can often feel isolating and comes with challenges made easier by connecting with others online who share the same values. But we believe No Planet B Festival is the perfect place to bring together these vast online communities so that people can meet in person and unite in spreading a very important message for the planet.’

There’ll be zero waste rules in place to ensure the festival really does have a minimal eco-footprint.

The festival, as we say, is still crowdfunding and so far has raised £14,539 of its £25,000 goal. It has just 15 days to go.

Pledge £89 to secure an adult one-day ticket, £102 for a two-dayer and £119 for three days. £183 gets you the full VIP three-day experience, which includes access to the VIP lounge area, priority seas, a No Planet B t-shirt and a toiletry kit full of the most luxurious, ethical vegan cosmetics.

Tickets include a free pitch to camp and park and if camping isn’t your thing, there’ll also be ‘glamping’ options available to buy from mid-June.
