So, after my experience at Vegan Camp Out 2022, would I attend next year? There are some amazing acts lined up for Vegan Camp out 2023, including BOSH!, Patrik Baboumian, and Romesh Ranganathan, and it’s taking place at a whole new venue too.

On Sunday I decided to start my morning with yoga, as I hadn’t taken part in any of the physical or mindfulness activities yet. The ‘Sunrise and Revive’ class took place in the Mind and Body tent by the lake. It was a very calming way to get ready for the day, and so lovely … Read more
