World Vegan Month is celebrated throughout November, from 1-30 November 2026, encouraging people to explore plant-based eating and the benefits of veganism for animals, health and the environment.
When is World Vegan Month?
World Vegan Month is held in November (1-30). It is one of the many UK awareness days that bring people together around a shared cause — see the full calendar.
Why World Vegan Month matters
Choosing more plant-based food can reduce harm to animals, lower environmental impact and support healthier diets, and World Vegan Month makes it easy for people to try something new and discover how accessible vegan living can be. Explore community support volunteering.
How to get involved in World Vegan Month
There are three simple ways to make World Vegan Month count:
