Veganuary @ Idlewild - launch evening

VEGANUARY 2026 Are you thinking of signing up to Veganuary for this January? Or would you consider doing it? I’m hosting a Veganuary month at Idlewild, to support people taking on the challenge and help you make a success of it. We're starting with an evening get-together to kick things off, where we will get to know each other, chat through things to know about Veganuary/ veganism, share info & make plans for the month, all over some shared food. I will be focusing on making some quick and easy dishes that you can cook at home, plus some samples of plant-based items that you can buy in the shops, to give you a variety of options to help you through the month. You'll also receive a digital resource pack to signpost other places to get info & support, local places to eat, etc. We'll then hold an informal weekly group meet-up through the rest of January, to keep up the support, hopefully develop friendships, keep people focused and address any bumps in the road that people have encountered. We'll agree the timing of this weekly meet at the first evening. There is a charge of £20 for the first evening event, to cover costs. This includes all food provided, a hot or cold drink and any materials. Any subsequent meet-ups are free beyond the cost of a coffee and cake from the café. In addition, by being part of the Idlewild Veganuary group, you'll get 10% off any food & drink that you buy in the café for the whole of January plus a voucher for £5 off a book* bought from our bookshop (* new books only, expires 1 February 2026). Please book your ticket here : https://bookwhen.com/idlewild What is Veganuary? Veganuary is a pledge to eat an entirely plant-based diet for the month of January.
