First food festival of the Exeter Phoenix Cafe Bar, with plant-based food, drinks and snacks from local vegan and vegetarian vendors.
Exeter Phoenix is hosting its first-ever food festival, the Vegan & Vegetarian Autumn Fayre, on Saturday 31 October. It's the Cafe Bar's first foray into a proper food event, and it's part of the venue's Green Phoenix initiative, under which the Cafe Bar menu is fully vegetarian and vegan. The day brings together the city's vegan and vegetarian community with plant-based food, drinks and snacks from local vendors alongside the venue's own treats.
On the stall list are local names like Happy Sprout, Naturally Bread, Veafy, The Vegan Pasty Company and Hakuna Matata, so it's a good chance to find some of the city's plant-based makers in one room. There's artwork by Gemma Sims on display too, which adds a bit of a gallery feel to the day. If you're already a regular at the Cafe Bar, you'll recognise the vegetarian and vegan focus that's been running there as part of Green Phoenix, but this takes it out of the usual menu and into a full-day event.
It helps to know where this sits. Exeter Phoenix is a multi-artform venue in the city centre, home to live music, theatre, cinema, contemporary art, dance, comedy, talks, creative courses and workshops. It runs as a charity rather than just an events venue, and its galleries are regarded as the home of contemporary visual arts in Exeter, supporting emerging talent alongside established artists through a Creative Hub that gives artists and producers the tools to experiment and take risks. This food festival is one of the more social, daytime additions to that mix.
