context_section_description: VegfestUK started life in Bristol in 2003 under the name Bristol Vegan Fayre, with the aim of showcasing the very best of a vegan lifestyle to the public. The organisers require all food and drinks supplied on site to be suitable for vegans. As well as a marketplace for the sampling, purchase and sale of vegan goods, the Bristol festivals also feature comedy, movies, chefs and cookery workshops, talks by nutritionists and campaigners, and children's entertainment during the day, followed by headline music in the evenings. Previous performers included Goldie Lookin' Chain, Ms. Dynamite and Finley Quaye.
  In celebration of its 10th anniversary, the Bristol show in May 2013 featured headliners such as the Happy Mondays, Peter Hook, The Farm, Caravan Palace, the Abyssinians, Macka B and others in the evenings. The daytime event was visited by leading vegans such as Bristol MP Kerry McCarthy, marathon runner Fiona Oakes, ex-Everton player Neil Robinson (the world's first professional top-flight vegan footballer), cancer survivor and powerlifter Pat Reeves amongst other guests. A grand total of 20,000 people descended upon the sun-baked Bristol Harbourside for this 3-day mix of food and music. It will not take place in 2019 and 2020.
