Here Be Monsters // 20 Feb

VegFest UK // 27-28 Feb

Join the villainous Captain Cut-Throat
and his fearsome crew as they
set sail through monster-infested
waters in search of a mysterious
island crammed with jewels and
gemstones. The Captain is certain
that “monsters simply don’t exist”,
but as they near the island and the
mist closes in around them, his
crew are not so sure. A thrilling new
musical adventure, performed by five talented actor musicians who
bring this exciting story to life.

Kicking off a series of dates across the
year in February with Vegfest Brighton,
the festival continues to lead the way
as one of Europe’s leading food and
cultural events, hosting an eclectic
selection of 200 stalls and a varied
array of sumptuous, health-conscious, world cuisine, along with four
all-day licensed bars. Housed inside the cavernous Brighton Centre,
with luxury, guilt-free eating on tap across the weekend, such delights
include Caribbean, Chinese, BBQ and Indian curries, smoothies and
ice-creams, as well as a stream of cakes, snacks, fresh juices and
desserts, all 100% vegan.
