Thank you for being Part of Plant to Plate

A huge thank you to everyone who came to the first-ever Plant to Plate festival.

From inspiring speakers to hands-on demos, creative stalls to conversations sparked, we’re so grateful to everyone who contributed, volunteered, ran activities or simply came along to explore new ideas.

As our first time running an event of this scale, it was a chance to try something new, learn together and lay the groundwork for what might grow from here.

If you made a pledge on the day, thank you, we’ll be in touch soon with ways to stay connected and supported. If you haven’t yet made a pledge, it’s not too late to take part and choose the actions that matter most to you. 8 Pledge Actions.

Until next time.

The event runs from 10am-4pm so there is plenty of time to weave your way through the different venues, which are very close together.
