The World Vegan Day Essex
Event 2004 was held at the Brentwood School Sports Centre,
Brentwood, Essex CM15 8AS [map] from 5.30pm to late on
Friday, 29 October 2004.
A celebration to promote
all aspects of compassionate and healthy living.
100's of people turned up
to the World Vegan Day and Viva! celebration - people
were even queuing before we opened!
Grateful thanks go to all
the volunteers on the night and to the really helpful
staff and manager at The Brentwood Schools Sports Centre.
There was a mixture of compassionate
and healthy living - you could get your blood analysed,
buy jewellery, meet people from Viva!, The Vegan Society,
Animal Aid, and check out around 30 other stalls packed
with free samples and information, try lots of animal
free food - wheat and meat free cakes, dairy free cream,
dairy free cheese, try wine and beers and enjoy a tasty
vegan chili from Frys Vegetarian Foods and trifle for
desert!
Lush gave away goody bags
and also made a demonstration on how to make a lush face
mask.
Benjamin Zephaniah, the well
known poet came along and so did the Mayor of Brentwood!
The talks went down well
from the Vegan Body Builders and Jill Swyers.
So a fun, positive atmosphere
was enjoyed and veggie and non veggies alike enjoyed tasty,
healthy animal-free food! And £100’s of pounds
has been raised for well deserving charities.
All profits will be distributed
to local and national organisations including:
