Testimonials from the Plant Powered Show 2022
“People are being encouraged to consume more plant-based foods to reduce the negative impacts of the modern food supply on human and global health. And this show really made a huge impact on my life going forward.”
“Great to be in a space of like-minded people who are also into plant-based living, natural healing, alternative healing modalities, health, sustainability!”
“A wonderful experience-well organized, good vibe, great stalls, food demo was brilliant and a wonderful atmosphere”
“I love seeing more plant-based events being held and it’s great to see vegan brands receiving support. The live cooking demonstrations were enjoyable and informative.”
“One of the most insightful events to educate oneself about healthier lifestyle choices.”
“Very well planned, everything was PERFECT!!! You have a WINNING combination, stick with it, add to it, don’t change anything…Looking forward to the next one…WELL DONE!!!!! Thank you.”
“The Plant Powered Show exceeded my expectations. The tickets were excellent value for money, there were so many unique vendors (not all foodrelated, which I was happily surprised about) and it was very well organized. Overall, 10/10. Would definitely attend again!”
“Loved the surprises and the unusual items – like a burger made from seaweed and baobab ice cream which was delicious!”
“It was one of the best shows I’ve been to! I loved the variety of products and specials each stand had promoting their products, I loved meeting like-minded people and creative entrepreneurs, and the talks were so interesting – one takeaway I had was about cheese – don’t be so hard on yourself if you can’t give up cheese – but you can give up everything else. I spent a small fortune on some great products, and I believe it to be worth it. Investing in ones health and creating awareness is what these shows can do – the rest is up to the individual. LOVED IT! and can’t wait for the next one. Bravo :)”
“What a wonderful experience! Trying so many interesting new foods and brands. I was so surprised to see how far the vegan products have gone, much more tasty than it was a few years ago.”
