    Hope everyone that went had a great time

    Some feedback below on the two day event.

    Although for stall holders - there is some good feed back from visitors.



    ''Dear Stallholder



    Thanks again for coming to VegfestUK Brighton last weekend.



    Below are the results of the Visitors feedback forms that were filled in over the weekend, and we hope you find the data useful.



    Thanks to all our stallholders who have sent back the stallholders feedback forms - we have received a great many and will be replying to them all over the next week. Most people had a good show but there were one or two who didn't and also a few points raised that are proving very helpful in planning for next year.



    Next year's show will be on March 16th & 17th 2013 ( TBC) and the website will be live for booking in early September



    We hope to see many of you in Bristol on May 25th - 27th 2012 - there's still some stall space available if you would like to come - see www.bristol.vegfest.co.uk for details



    Many thanks

    VegfestUK Team

    Nice to see lots of people planning on coming back next year (approx 4,500 people indicating likely, very likely or definite)- also good to see that quite a lot of people are thinking of changing their diet after visiting the show.(based on these figures, around 1400 people who came to the show are either likely, very likely or definitely going to change their diets). The amount of omnis and veggies visiting the show is very interesting too.



    Thanks
