About

Vetfordia is a relaxed, feel-good festival weekend for people who love animals.

It’s a space to slow down, hang out, and actually enjoy yourself... with good music, creative workshops, simple moments, and easy connection.

You can come for the day or stay longer. Bring your friends, bring your family, bring your dog… or just come as you are.

At its core, Vetfordia is about something deeper.

The veterinary industry is under pressure. Burnout, mental health struggles, and people leaving the profession are becoming harder to ignore.

This weekend is about creating space to reconnect... with each other, with ourselves, and with why this work matters in the first place.

All profits from the event will be donated to Sophie’s Legacy.

Dr Sophie Putland was a beloved vet who tragically lost her life in 2021. Sophie's Legacy is working to raise awareness and drive change in veterinary mental health.
