Whether you’re a budding eco-warrior keen to green up your life, or you just fancy embarking on a bit of a dairy detox, we’ve got your back with a range of vegan classes and sustainable experiences that will help you embrace a more planet friendly, plant based lifestyle in no time! 

The beginning of the year is always a great time to start afresh and embrace new rituals, so if you’re looking for ways to be a bit more sustainable in your day to day life, why not join in with Veganuary? A vegan lifestyle is about so much more than just diet (although that’s a big – and very tasty! – part of it), and while getting to grips with green living might seem daunting, it’s actually pretty easy to be more environmentally friendly! (Honest!). Plus, if you decide to go vegan for January, you’ll be joining plenty of other newbies at the same time; some fab new friends and a fresh eco-friendly outlook – we can’t think of a better way to kick off the new year!

Whether you’ve been meaning to embrace a plant based diet, you’ve thought about trying to shop cruelty free or you’re keen to reduce your waste, it can all seem like a huge challenge – we get it. Switching old habits for fresh new ones can be hard, no matter how passionate you are about helping to save the planet. Don’t worry, though – we’re here to help! From handy hints on mastering some mouth watering vegan dishes and delicious plant based meals that even the kids will love, to tips on ways to get your craft on while keeping your creativity cruelty free, we can help to make all of your eco-friendly living dreams come true!

Whip up some midweek meals with a vegan cooking class

Fancy taking meat free Monday to the next level? Whether you’re looking to ditch the dairy totally or you just fancy expanding your recipe repertoire, learning how to cook a few easy vegan meals is going to take your green credentials from zero to hero in no time! 

From classes in making vegan friendly fresh Italian pasta (butternut squash and thyme ravioli anyone?) and a selection of spicy plant based Indian dishes to workshops where you learn to whip up fancy fermented foods, sumptuous vegan sushi and classic vegan friendly fish and chips, we can take your tastebuds on an eco-friendly trip around the globe. No passport required! And if you’re someone who thinks a good meal isn’t complete without a cracking dessert, we can help you finish things off with a vegan baking workshop where you’ll discover the secrets behind the perfect plant based pudding; from zesty lemon drizzle cake and warming sticky toffee pudding to the gooiest vegan brownies, there’s something to satisfy even the sweetest tooth!

Green up your creativity with a sustainable craft class

If you’re a keen crafter and would like to make your hobby a little more eco-friendly, it can be hard to know where to start. But luckily, we’ve got you covered with a great range of sustainable craft classes and vegan friendly workshops which will help you to unleash your creativity without harming our animal pals or the planet.

Green fingered floristry fan? It can be tricky to enjoy a good flower arranging session when you know your foliage and blooms aren’t quite as sustainable as they could be, but don’t panic – you don’t have to ditch the dahlias completely! Opting for a dried flower bouquet workshop means you’ll get to work with sustainably sourced dried flowers, which don’t only look great – they’ll last forever! 

Keen to learn how to reduce waste? If you’re nifty with a needle and have a cupboard full of clothes that need a little love and care, our upcycling and mending craft classes will have you transforming those tired trousers in no time! From exciting sessions in shoe decoupage and pattern cutting to repair workshops in knitwear darning, sashiko and boro Japanese mending and beginners upcycling, we’ll have your wardrobe woes all sewn up in no time!

If your biggest hobby (aside from crafting!) is bathtime, we can help you make your soaking a little more sustainable with our range of plant based skincare and vegan hair care classes. From solid natural skincare workshops, which will teach you how to make a totally eco-friendly shampoo bar, moisturiser and lip balm, to sessions in crafting a gorgeously scented cruelty free natural reed diffuser for your bathroom, our vegan friendly beauty and home experiences will definitely make life smell that bit sweeter – for you and the planet!

Give a cruelty free gift with our vegan friendly experiences

Got a special occasion coming up? Whether you’ve got a planet loving pal who’s celebrating their birthday, you’d like to treat your dairy free Dad to a special Father’s Day gift or you’re searching for a little something special for your marvelous Mum this Mother’s Day, our range of vegan friendly craft classes will help you whip up something wonderful in no time!

We can’t think of anything much more relaxing than soft flickering candlelight; whether it’s accompanied by a soothing warm bath, a beautifully romantic mouth watering meal (plant based, of course!) or a good book on a winter's evening, a gentle flame can really help you unwind at the end of a long day. So if your giftee has been working extra hard, is feeling a little stressed out or just deserves a super soothing treat, why not indulge them with a gorgeous vegan candle made by your own two hands? At our soy candle making class, you’ll learn how to blend sustainable soy wax with paraben-free fragrances and a hemp wick to create a perfect planet friendly present for your loved one! 

Has your favourite person got a real sweet tooth? If they’re tempted by tasty treats but want to keep it planet friendly, sign yourself up for a chocolate making class where you’ll learn how to make vegan chocolates and sumptuous vegan truffles which taste as good as their dairy-packed pals! This brilliant virtual class includes a DIY kit packed with all the ingredients you’ll need to whip up twenty sumptuous sweets and then decorate them to perfection for your loved one – all you need to bring is the apron!
