Vegan Camp Out is an annual camping festival in the UK featuring music, comedy, talks, health & wellbeing activities, and various workshops. The festival was founded in 2016 by Jordan Martin, who co-manages the event with their sister, Claire Michalski.
Vegan Camp Out has been held at various different venues in the UK, and an additional festival weekend also ran in Australia in 2023.
The festival focuses on veganism, environmentalism and animal rights. Most performers are publicly vegan, typically including prominent influencers, activists, comedians, and musicians. A variety of all-vegan food vendors is a central feature to the event, the list of vendors usually being billed as a 'food line-up'.

2020 (cancelled)
Due to take place: 21-23 August 2020 - Newark Showground, Nottinghamshire.
Festival organisers initially held off from cancelling the 2020 festival despite the COVID-19 lockdown regulations, due to speculation within the events industry that restrictions may have been eased by the time the festival was due to take place. The event was eventually cancelled on 08 June 2020.[2] A crowdfunding campaign was launched to help mitigate financial losses incurred by the cancellation of the 2020 event.[3]
The organisers later announced they would be holding a smaller version of the festival with lower attendance capacity of 1,000 and without stages for live entertainment, at Riddings Wood Caravan and Camping Park in Derbyshire on 25-26 September 2020.[4] This followed updated restrictions which permitted licences to be granted for large organised gatherings under certain conditions, although social distancing regulations still applied and immediate groups were still limited to ‘bubbles’ of no more than 6 people. After the coming under public scrutiny, the licence application was subsequently withdrawn under pressure after around 50 objections were raised by local residents of the Amber Valley area, including Derbyshire County Council’s public health advisor.[4] The council then used emergency powers to block from the application from being resubmitted.[5]
Most of the planned line-up was postponed to the next year.[6]
