Bring a skill to share, or just bring yourself!

Everyone who attends Veganic Skills Share is invited to contribute, whether by leading a session, demonstrating a skill, sharing an idea, asking questions, playing your guitar, or simply helping out around the site. 

We have numerous workshops and activities already lined up, and we’ll be adding more as the event approaches. If you’d like to lead an activity, you’re welcome to contact Jo at [email protected]. There will also be plenty of occasions throughout the weekend for impromptu skill sharing and improvised activities.

Companion animals are welcome as long as their humans are under control, as we have a nervous cat on the farm, ground-nesting birds and horses and alpacas live next door ;)
