Viva! are so excited to be returning to Birmingham for yet another epic vegan festival, and this year we are adding a little extra magic… 25th Anniversary! This year we invite you to a stylish event that is magically themed and full of extra special surprises – keep an eye out for announcements of what you can expect to find! 2019 marks the 25th year that Viva! has been fighting tirelessly to end the suffering of animals, and we think that’s worth celebrating.

We've designed AltEatsFest with one goal in mind - to assemble a collection of the absolute best in alternative food suppliers. At AltEats there will be hundreds of people from the Midlands, with genuine interest in gluten, dairy, meet-free, vegan &alternative food, drink and lifestyle products.

This one-day conference will explore the potential and challenges of the shift towards plant-strong farming, and look at the benefits for the environment, public health and animals.

Held at the British Library, it will discuss the implications of this shift for farmers, land managers and rural communities and explore how we can work together to manage the challenges we face. It will consider how we can tend our land more effectively, to provide for our changing diets, benefit our farming communities and protect our natural environment.
