Welcome

Manchester Vegetarian and Vegan Group aims to act as a hub for the vegetarian and vegan community in Greater Manchester (UK). It is affiliated to the The Vegetarian Society (UK) and has links to the Vegan Society.

We run an email group for those in the Greater Manchester area or with a strong interest in it, where we share notices of events, discuss issues and have friendly conversations on vegetarian and vegan related topics. We'd like to hear your voice too!

Additionally, we have regular social meet-ups on the first Saturday of every month at the Eighth Day cafe, on Oxford Road, in Manchester. These begin at 1pm and anybody who has an interest in vegetarianism/veganism is invited to drop-in for a chat with like-minded people.

MVVG Social Meet-ups in 2011

On the first Saturday of every month, Manchester Vegetarian and Vegan Group hold a social drop-in meeting at Eighth Day cafe, on Oxford Road in Manchester.

It begins at 1pm, lasts until 3-4pm, and you can drop-in whenever you like. We normally get something to eat but this isn't mandatory, and it's not a meeting in the traditional sense -- we just chat amongst ourselves.

Anybody with an interest in vegetarianism or veganism is invited to come along, and we always give a warm welcome to newcomers. If you can't spot us in the cafe area, just ask a member of staff. We usually occupy one or two of the benches to the left of the food serving area.

Saturday, 5th February 2011
