The Vegan Society has joined forces with award-winning music and science family festival bluedot for a host of special talks and performances during COP26 in Glasgow next month.
The partnership will raise awareness of the Society’s Plate Up for the Planet campaign and will see a takeover of Glasgow’s The Flying Duck on Thursday 4 and Friday 5 November – in addition to a special all-day event at St Luke’s on Saturday 6 November.
Thursday’s event will feature Chris Packham in conversation, and live performances from Liz Lawrence, Pleasure Pool and more.
Friday at Plate Up! Will be headlined by Ecotricity founder Dale Vince and Fay Milton (Music Declares Emergency/Savages), and live performances from Audiobooks, plus a Too Many Man closing party.
Saturday 6 November will see The Vegan Society and bluedot join forces with UMA Entertainment for a special all-day event at St Luke’s, featuring daytime talks from Music Declares Emergency, Tyndall Centre and Citizen’s Climate Lobby. Plus, there will be live evening performances from Aurora and more, and an afterparty from Andy Cato (Groove Armada).
Tickets for Thursday and Friday are priced at just £5 and are on sale now. Registration for Saturday tickets is now open.
Now in it’s fifth year, Plate Up for the Planet encourages people to think differently about what they eat. Going vegan is one of the most significant things that you can do to help combat climate change and reduce further damage to the natural world. So far, more than 21,500 people have pledged to go vegan for just 7 days.
