New Vegan Food and Social Event will be Launched at The Crossing

An exciting new vegan food and social event will be launched at The Crossing, The Brunel's food hub in Swindon Town Centre next week.

Indy’s Vegan Social is the brainchild of Victoria Capener who runs Indy’s Vegan Kitchen at The Crossing in The Brunel centre. The free-to-attend event, which it is hoped will become a regular monthly feature, will be an opportunity for like-minded people to regularly get together to eat vegan food and to socialise. The evening will include entertainment from Swindon singer and musician Charlie Bath and will feature a talk by Emma-Jayne of Goatacre Farm Animal sanctuary who will be talking about life at the sanctuary, the animals they care for and volunteering opportunities. Vegan food will, of course, be available from Indy’s Vegan Kitchen.

Victoria was inspired to put this social event together after attending London’s Brick Lane Vegan Nights.  Victoria said: “many in the vegan community will know about Vegan Nights.  I’ve been along and it’s excellent so I thought it would be great to have something like it in Swindon.  My vegan food pod is in The Crossing and we have a great space here which really lends itself to gatherings such as this so I’m really looking forward to seeing what we can achieve. There are often vegan events in the area but currently nothing regular where like-minded people can eat and socialise. An evening event also means that I will be able to bring my vegan food to those who cannot get to town during the day-time too”.

Victoria is being encouraged and supported by Lewis Fagence, Occupier Relationship Manager at The Brunel.  Lewis said: “I think Victoria’s come up with a great idea and we’re really pleased to be able to help get this event off the ground.  We think this social night will appeal not only to the vegan community but to those who want to find out more about the vegan ethos and way of life.

“The Crossing was designed with exactly this type of event in mind.  Our first regular social event at The Crossing was Brunel Knights, a monthly games night which has been running for a couple of months now and is becoming really popular.  We are optimistic that Indy’s Vegan Social will also be a success and we hope that it will gradually build up to become a regular monthly feature”.

Indy’s Vegan Social takes place at The Crossing on Thursday 1 August 2019 at 7pm.
