Tickets are on sale now for the Bristol Vegan Fayre 2026, with buyers able to take advantage of a buy one get one free (BOGOF) deal throughout May. The event takes place on Saturday 20th June at Document, 30 Pennywell Road, Bristol, with doors open from 10am to 6pm.
Priced at £8 plus booking fee in advance, the BOGOF offer is available until the end of May, making it the most cost-effective time to buy. From 1st June to 13th June, tickets move to a buy one get one half price deal, before reverting to standard price from 13th June onwards. Tickets on the door on the day will cost £10, subject to availability.
The 2026 edition is shaping up to be the biggest yet, falling on the summer solstice and promising a festival atmosphere that leans heavily into entertainment. Organisers announced the return of the event earlier this year, noting that with 2026 being a fallow year for Glastonbury, the programme has been expanded with a particular emphasis on live music, comedy and a full outdoor experience. The event is also confirmed as the last to be held at its current home, Document, making 2026 a genuinely historic occasion.
The outdoor stage at the rear of the venue will feature live music from a selection of vegan musicians, including reggae-influenced act BFriendly, singer-songwriter Ian Haywood, folk guitar and fiddle duo Haze-Fire, and blues guitarist David Robinson. A DJ booth in the front courtyard will keep the summer solstice celebrations going with an uplifting selection of tunes throughout the day.
Comedy is a major draw this year. Joining regular compere Mike Kelson for a dedicated comedy hour at 5pm are Andrew O’Neill and Ishi Khan, who previously performed at the London Vegan Fayre in December 2025 alongside Dawn Chorus. Expect an hour of what organisers describe as mirth, madness and merriment.
Two talks rooms will run throughout the day covering Animal Rights and Activism, featuring some of the UK’s leading campaign groups, and Plant Based Lifestyles. Highlights in the talks programme include a session with ex-professional footballer Simon Clist, who also appeared at Vegfest Free Birmingham in April, and a presentation on plant-based nutrition for dogs and cats from Dr Arielle Griffiths of Just Be Kind Dog and Cat Food, a familiar face at events in this series.
Over 90 independent traders will fill the venue, including 12 vegan street food caterers offering some of the best plant-based food options available. Limited stall space remains available for independent vegan traders, charities, and CICs. Those interested can register their interest to exhibit here.
First launched in Bristol in 2003, the Bristol Vegan Fayre is the longest-running vegan event in the UK, now entering its 23rd year. Organisers describe it as ideal for both the core vegan community and those new to plant-based lifestyles, with up to 2,000 attendees expected on the day.
The event is sponsored by Just Be Kind Dog and Cat Food, The Great Vegan Gathering, Vegan Accountants, Mad Promotions and Yaoh Hemp Products. Tickets are available now via the Bristol Vegan Fayre website.
