Are You Ready To Meet Your Health Conscious, Heart Centred Raw Vegan Tribe?
You are invited to the most important event of your life!
UK Fruitfest is no ordinary festival. In fact, festival is the wrong word…
UK Fruitfest is the annual gathering of a tribe of conscious, loving individuals who are looking for like minded souls to share this journey of life with.
Everyone is brought together by a love of fruit and raw food. They have realised that fuelling their body with the best, healthiest and most high vibrational foods is essential when you want to live your best life.
But that’s not all that this vibrant community shares….
The group of people this event has previously attracted tends to share the following charateristics, they are:
- health conscious and looking to live a healthy, high energy life for themselves and their family and friends
- either practising or curious about a raw vegan/fruitarian style diet or the benefits it offers (most of the attendees are actually beginners to this lifestyle)
- highly ethical, looking to make good choices that impact the world in a good way
- highly caring of animals, the environment and the planet for now and for future generations
- compassionate towards other people and very aware of the feelings and concerns of others
- determined to find and follow their passion in life in order to help as many people as possible live better lives
- looking to make an impact on the world and wish to help change it for the better
- spiritual but not necessarily religious, interested in pursuing spiritual practices like meditation, yoga and breathwork
- love to connect with nature and be out in nature away from the modern civilised world
- they have a sense that they don’t quite fit in with the world and they are constantly looking for people to connect with who are more like them
Does this sound like you?
On your journey of development in life, have you started to feel a disconnection towards others around you?
Do you struggle to fit in with your friends, family and colleagues? Do you find it difficult that they don’t see things in the same way you do?
You maybe feel confusion that others are not able to see what has become obvious to you when it comes to health, diet and lifestyle choices.
At the same time, as you have started to experiment with your new lifestyle you have started to change more, to expand and wake up not only to your new potential in life but also to how frustrating it can be that the rest of the world is yet to make that change.
This Is Why UK Fruitfest Was Born
UK Fruitfest is here for those people who have awoken to their true nature and hear the calling of this tribe. For those looking to make changes to their diet and lifestyle it is the perfect place to learn more about the raw vegan path.
But more than that, it is the place that you will be immersed in a community of like minded and heart centred souls.
- A place to find real CONNECTION
- A place to EXPRESS your true self
- A place to find KNOWLEDGE, EDUCATION and MENTORSHIP to help guide you to a better, healthier life
- A place to get in touch with your inner WISDOM
- A place to find your PASSION and learn how to share that with the world
- A place to find SUPPORT and guidance
- A place to learn new SKILLS, develop new HABITS and build a new positive MINDSET and RELATIONSHIP with yourself
Most importantly, a place where you can be YOU and truly dive deep into your higher self and be supported and guided on that journey.
Also, it is a place where you will meet some of the best friends of your life. Who knows what journeys you will take after this festival or where your life could lead.
Meeting one important person could change the whole trajectory of your life forever!

Accommodation
Attendees have the option of staying onsite for the duration of the event in our provided accommodation. There are limited private and twin room options and also shared and bunk room options.
There are also very limited spaces for camping but the venue does not provide full electrical hookups for caravans and motorhomes (there is a nearby camp ground for those that would prefer this).
The Food
Our philosohpy is that human beings thrive best on the natural foods that our ancestors were eating for millions of years before modern farming, cooking, hunting, storage and processing techniques were developed.
Our professional team provides an incredible 100% raw vegan menu each day, focusing on the best quality in season fruits and vegetables. We do not focus on providing a 100% organic selection (feel free to message us for more information on this) focusing on quality, flavour and variety.
Each day, we stop for a breakfast, lunch and dinner meal and there will be fruit to snack on throughout the day. Despite this “light” diet, our attendees report feeling full and satisfied and the transformation that can happen in just 8 days is incredible.
In advance of the event, we provide free guidance and information on this lifestyle to help you prepare for the festival and enjoy it to the full.
The Programme
We aim to provide a good balance of world class education on how to thrive with a raw vegan lifestyle, along with inspirational and motivational talks on diverse healthy living topics.
We design our programme so that a beginner could go from basic information at the start to embracing higher level ideas towards the end. We spend at least 2 days focusing mostly on diet and nutrition.
Our speakers are specially selected for their experience, reputation and often for the fantastic performances they have delivered at prior events.
Each day comes with a selection of morning activities to get the day going. This usually includes Yoga, Running, Dancing, Bodyweight Exercises and Meditation. After breakfast, we have our first two lectures followed by lunch. After lunch we have smaller break out workshops and discussion groups.
Later we come together again for the remaining 3 talks of the day and dinner. We fully believe that this programme offers far more value and far more education than any other raw vegan retreat or festival.
After dinner, we go on to our evenings entertainment: a talent show, a quiz night, a dance night are some of our staples.We end each day gathered around the campfire, singing songs and telling stories!
Featured speakers at this years festival:
Ronnie Smith- Founder of the UK Fruitfest, Author Of “The Raw Food Lifestyle 101”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRsJ-vNqdWk
The founder of UK Fruitfest, host of the Love Fruit Podcast and a legendary leader in the raw vegan movement. His raw vegan journey has been documented online for the last 10 years, reaching the hearts and minds of over half a million people around the world in that time.
Ronnie was drawn to the raw vegan diet after sitting one night and asking the universe to bring something that would challenge him to evolve to the stage in his life. Very quickly, he started to come across information about the raw vegan lifestyle and the idea clicked.
Over the next few years, he travelled the world following his highest excitement and met the great teachers and gurus of high vibrational raw vegan living. He felt the calling to bring this message back to the UK and share it with the world!
He is well known for making the raw vegan diet simple and clear, removing the magic, mytsicism and nonsense that often accompanies the claims of raw food promoters from the past and making the lifestyle practical for anyone to follow and thrive on.
Ronnie’s talks will range from the complete basics of making the raw food diet work to inspirational and exciting ideas, stories, philosophies and concepts that will motivate you to go raw!

It’s just great to meet people with similar ideas and passions, to share and learn. And 2) Listening to really, really high quality speakers.

– Dawn Dakin, England
“This is our 25th wedding anniversary and instead of going somewhere exotic we’ve decided to come and celebrate at the fruit festival.
