The Story Of UK Fruitfest (Fruitfest History 2014-2018)
In 2013, the founder of the UK Fruitfest, Ronnie Smith, put on a small event for friends in the north of England. The idea was to gather together people he had met at Fruit Festivals around the world, who also happened to live in the UK. Word spread quickly about the small gathering and all of a sudden people from around Europe were asking permission to attend. Fruitcamp ended up have over 25 people attend from around the UK and Europe. The positive feedback received from this event made those friends decide to put together a plan for something bigger.
The friends agreed that a larger festival event could be a huge success. This came together for the first time in 2014. The philosophy of the event was to: “provide support, education and community to the raw vegan movement”
The first Fruitfest went ahead in June 2014. It was a huge success, attracting people from as far as Australia and the USA. It was clear that there was a hunger and a thirst all over the world for an event that provided a high level of quality education on the raw vegan lifestyle but also provided incredible food and accommodation.
Since then, word has spread and the festival has grown bigger and better each year.
Fruitfest 2018, 200 attendees!

Travelling by Car: For those of you coming by car, you can use the above postcode for your Sat Nav. Taken from Croft Farm website: “From the M5: Leave the M5 at junction 9. Head towards Tewkesbury and turn right at the first set of traffic lights, into Shannon Way. At the next set of traffic lights turn right and go over the motorway bridge. Take the first turning left, through a housing estate, and go over the motorway for a second time. At the T junction turn right onto the B4080 and then take the first left into Croft Farm.” From Tewkesbury: On entering Tewkesbury drivers should look for the B4080. This is on the NE side of the town, at the end of the High Street when leaving Tewkesbury in the Worcester direction. Croft Farm is in the hamlet of Bredon’s Hardwick, unmarked on most maps, but if you travel along the B4080 towards Bredon for 1.5 miles you will see the Park signs on the left-hand side, almost opposite the Cross Keys Inn.”
