For 6 years, from 2005 – 2009, Veggies and other vegan campaigners helped organise the East Midlands' Vegan Festival which welcomed over 2000 members of the public each year to the Council House on Nottingham’s Old Market Square.

However the Council House have refused to host future events, so the Vegan Festival team are very grateful to the Nottingham Green Festival for providing space to hold a Vegan Festival within the Green Festival.

Use of the Council House

NCC's decision to no longer allow the Vegan Festival at the Council House was dodgy as hell. They have been very selective about which events they've refused because of possible 'wear and tear'...
