BRIGHTON - Weekend Break / Vegfest UK
















This was a weekend trip we had, mainly to visit VEGFEST UK at the Brighton  Hove Centre, but we just had to visit a few other places in Brighton too. A very colourful place with lots going on.
The seafront is very big indeed and it takes a long time to walk all along it.
We loved the multi-coloured beach huts and many were used that weekend as the weather was lovely. We saw the Grand Hotel (Photo above) once a target for an IRA bomb attack, during a Conservative Conferance. We also visited the "North Lanes" shops which are a "Must see" if you go to Brighton. So many speciality shops are rare today and much more friendly than the usual High St stores you get in all cities & towns today.
We are both Vegan so that was one reason we were keen to visit Brighton, as it is known for its "Veggie" culture.  Lots of Vegetarian related shops and one was "Vegetarian Shoes" where Dana bought me a nice pair of training shoes! Very comfy too.
We came home loaded up with our Vegan Foods bought either at VEGFEST or a shop called "Infinity", which sells everything for Vegetarians & Vegans. Huge choices!.
We bought a "Vegan Haggis", which was delicious to eat.  Very Savoury in taste.
Weatherwise we were very fortunate as it was sunny all weekend. It makes a holiday!
So all in all, a very enjoyable break and we'll certainly re-visit Brighton another time.
We stayed in a great "Vegetarian B&B" in Chatsworth Road , Brighton.
Very comfortable and a great breakfast too.
