 Wagtail demo
 ============
 
+We provide a demo site containing a set of standard templates and page types - if you're new to Wagtail, this is the best way to try it out and familiarise yourself with how Wagtail works from the point of view of an editor.
+
+If you're happy to use Vagrant, and you just want to set up the Wagtail demo site, or any other pre-existing Wagtail site that ships with Vagrant support, you don't need to install Wagtail at all. Install `Vagrant <http://www.vagrantup.com/>`__ and `VirtualBox <https://www.virtualbox.org/>`__, and run::
+
+    git clone https://github.com/torchbox/wagtaildemo.git
+    cd wagtaildemo
+    vagrant up
+    vagrant ssh
+
+
+Then, within the SSH session::
+
+    ./manage.py createsuperuser
+    ./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
+
+
+This will make the demo site available on your host machine at the URL http://localhost:8111/ - you can access the Wagtail admin interface at http://localhost:8111/admin/ . Further instructions can be found at :ref:`editor_manual`.
+
+Once you’ve experimented with the demo site and are ready to build your own site, it's time to install Wagtail on your host machine. Even if you intend to do all further Wagtail work within Vagrant, installing the Wagtail package on your host machine will provide the ``wagtail start`` command that sets up the initial file structure for your project.
