Next Saturday – the 16th of May 2026 – get yourself to Newcastle for the 7th annual Tyneside Vegan & Music Festival!
Get ready to munch on some delicious food and browse through ethical products while listening to live music at our amazing event.
Well, it’s that time of the year again, our amazing Tyneside Vegan and Music Festival is returning for the 7th year. We can’t wait to see you all again!
We will have loads of fabulous stalls for you with a wide range of traders and groups. We want to make sure that there is something for everyone! We have animal rights groups and social justice charities as well as independent and larger traders with craft stalls, artisan stalls, sweet treats, gifts, clothing, accessories and much more.
We have a fantastic food offer with hot and cold food and drink available throughout the day.
It is a family friendly event and we have a children’s activity table where you can leave your younger ones free of charge while you wander the event (DBS’d volunteers).
It is also a dog-friendly event and all well-behaved dogs on leads are very welcome.
We will have a number of fundraisers going on including a draw for fabulous prizes.
We have fantastic musical and poetry performances throughout the day with some returning artists (due to popular request and all vegan) and some new ones. All of the performers will be available before and after their performance to talk to visitors and to grab a selfie with.
Our festival aims to:
Make veganism accessible to those who are curious
Create a safe-space for existing vegans
To raise money for NEAR and all of the other charities taking part – including Animals Asia North East and Millington’s Magical Barn who will share 25% of our net profits.
To promote live music
To help animal groups talk about their work and recruit new volunteers.
