Essex Vegan Festival
Feedback from the 2004 Event
It’s the best birthday present I can wish for!
Keith (Karin’s dad!)
It was an absolute pleasure to help at your event, albeit a small contribution, and I'm delighted it was another big success.

Frys food, Redwoods food, Tofutti samples, Hamsters food – More please! Keith
I attended the Brentwood event as an exhibitor and loved it. My 10 year old son came with me and was positively inspired. He was especially intrigued by the Greenpeace stand and I was delighted that he brought back and digested the literature with his older sister.

Thanx for an excellent evening last Friday. My friends and I really enjoyed it all.

I enjoyed the World Vegan celebration very much. I have never tried Redwoods or Frys Foods before – I will from now on!!

I was very interested in the blood test stall, I will look again at the website – brilliant event!

Congratulations on a magnificent event, I'm sure that lots of non vegans attended and it really did give out such a positive impression of how easy it is to be vegan as well as healthy, compassionate, good for the environment, etc.
Keep up the fantastic work.
Annette White and Family (5 of us came!)
The vegan Essex event last Friday was really good fun. I have been to the vegan event in London but never to the one in Essex. I met lots of new people and old friends too. The food was great (as all vegan food is!) and it was brilliant to be with so many compassionate people. Looking forward to the next one! Take care love and liberation always.

Excellent celebration for the Vegan Society and Viva!’s birthday. I tried lots of free samples and loved the dairy free cream, cheese and cakes! Cant wait for next time!

Congratulations on last night. It was a really good night and we had a big turn out.
Pete, Colchester

Well done on such a fantastic event. Only you would be able to get so many people to come to a vegan event outside a big city!

Thank you for such a lovely evening, well worth the money, so much to try! Lush were great and thanks for the lovely goody bags – with a condom too!!
Sandra
An amazing night, lots of education, inspiration, and fun – what more could we ask for?!
Debbie, Hornchurch
We had a lovely time, particularly enjoyed the Lush cosmetics speaker - it sounds silly but Ijust didn't know that they were a veggie company & had animal friendly products. Now I know, I shall make a point of visiting the Romford branch that always smells so nice.
Emma
It was lovely to see you. It was a great show and lots of activities. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and was able to chat to some very exciting people. Thank you so much for letting me come to the show. Once again thank you so much for today and keep me informed about any other events you are organizing

I couldn’t eat another thing! So much to try.
Carol, Shenfield

Just a quick mail to say something you already know.....what a great evening! Can only repeat my admiration for what you have achieved, and gratitude for making it possible to participate. Everyone I spoke to thought the evening was excellent....let's hope they don't become complacent and forget just how much energy and effort this takes from the fantastic Organiser!
Saint Francis Foundation
Just a quick note to say thank you for a great event. I had a really nice time and got full on all the free samples! I got lots of positive feedback on my jewellery and made some new friends too. Now I'm back at my 9-5 job, I wish that there were more events like yours to look forward to. Thank you.
Jacqui Applebee
I had my tarot cards read – wow she’s amazing!
Sharon, Wickford

It was a very rewarding evening as usual and I really enjoyed it. Thanks for letting me take part. Congrats on a great event...looking forward to next year.

I know we served well over 400 portions of Chilli and rice. We got only good feedback with the food and made sure that we promoted the Fry's product. I hope that the night went well for you as I know how hard you have been working to pull it off. With regards to turn out it was a good success and the promotion of Veganism must have been seen in a positive light with all that was on offer to people. Well, have a good week and take great pleasure in the fact that Veganism is snowballing through Essex due to your endeavors.
Andi, Happy Hamsters
Thanks for asking us! We were honoured that you asked us and thrilled with the number of good feedback we received :o)
Robbie, Happy Hamsters
Did a brief write up of Essex (& Bristol) for the Vegan Bodybuilding site.

Maybe see you at the Christmas without cruelty fayre in December? Thanks for a great day! All the best,
Pete, Vegan Bodybuilding
I thought that the 29th was brilliant. The Shellfish stall was surrounded by lovely and interested people all the time and I was exhausted by the end. That means a good result. The food was amazing, you looked cool and in control all evening and generally it was one of the best fairs that I have attended. Well done! Edwin sends his love and was so sorry to miss the wonderful stands and people.
Julie, Shellfish Network
Thank you for organising the Essex Vegan Festival. Great location and venue and evening. Went on to Bristol next day - also a good day. It was good to meet you. Hope to see you again. All the best,
