Local Contacts for The Vegetarian Society

The Vegetarian Society has a two-tier system of local representatives: Affiliated Groups and Information Centres. Information Centres marked with a * are trying to grow into groups, and those marked ** are actually small groups, so please contact them if you are interested in joining. Business Display Info Centres have our literature and information available for their customers and visitors but do not usually put on events
Please remember that all groups and information centres are run by volunteers and are entirely self-funded.

Email: some groups have asked that their email addresses aren't set out the conventional way in order to reduce spam. If contacting, please replace (at) with @ and so on.

Currently we're also running a successful book club and organising some exciting outdoor activities for the Summer season, including picnics in London and a trip to the Peak District. Trips to the Lake District, Paris and Bath are also being planned for Autumn. Vegetarians and vegans of all backgrounds are welcome to join us and if you're a new vegetarian/vegan we'll make sure to give you a specially warm welcome into our group!
