We understand that someone looking for family entertainment may not get their needs met.

Is there an ATM near by?

There is no ATM on site. Though some vendors will take cards we reccomend you come prepared with cash. Check out the map below for the closest ATM to the venue.

Will all the food be vegan?

Yes, absolutely. All food will be 100% vegan. You will most likely find other dietary options (ie gluten free, raw, etc.) Enjoy!

Is the venue wheelchair accessible?

Yes, Griffith Conference Centre is wheelchair accessible. Dublin Vegfest has an outdoor aspect this year, so it should be noted that some areas of the site may become muddy in wet weather. Facilities for disabled people have been arranged to maximise use of the hard ground that does exist. Where a drop in ground/floor levels exists, ramps will be installed, so that access around the site is maximised. Stewards will be present to assist people in wheelchairs in the event of emergency exiting.
People with disabilities are welcome to head to the front of the queue and can be admitted a bit early. Please notify staff on the day.

Is there a map of the event?

You can download the map from the venue page: https://dublinvegfest.com/index.php/venue/

Can I bring my dog?

Afraid not. The venue and the nature of the event (masses of people, heat, etc.) are going to put your animal companion under too much stress.
Assistant dogs are welcome as well as their humans. 🙂

Can we bring in outside food or beverages?

Bringing a water bottle is fine; otherwise, food, beverages and more are for sale inside. No glass bottles are permitted on the festival grounds.
