Cork VegFest has been cancelled this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

In a statement on their website, organisers released the following statement:

It’s been a confusing and stressful time for everyone and we hope you are doing OK.

In the face of the Covid 19 outbreak and working with the measures against the spread of the disease. With the safety of everyone that would attend as a priority we have decided to cancel Cork Vegfest scheduled for 25/04/2020 at Cork City Hall. All ticket purchases will be refunded.

We have been working on a possible alternative date for later in the year. We will be able to confirm that only when we are certain that gatherings of our size are deemed safe to attend and it is viable.”

The organisers thank everyone for their support and urge people to continue social distancing.

Meanwhile, dates for Dublin VegFest have since been released as the 19th and 20th of September at Leinster Cricket Club.
