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.

To join our email group please enter your email address:
