STALLS
A chance to stock up on animal-friendly books, chocolates, cosmetics, toiletries and clothes and meet lots of other caring people.  For the really well organised, it's an opportunity to get your compassionate Christmas cards and presents well in advance.

TALKS

A full day of talks and films including vegetarianism, factory farming, vivisection and humane research.  We are very pleased to have two  experienced school speakers from Animal Aid - Diane Smith, who is the Midlands Regional Education Officer and Kate Fowler-Reeves. There will also be a talk on the work of the Dr Hadwen Trust to replace animals in the medical research and the UK Director of the Animals Asia Foundation will also be speaking.

The talks will include videos and question and answer sessions.  They will be suitable for all adults and teenagers interested in animal protection issues and will be useful for teachers and schoolchildren covering these subjects in their studies (Food Technology, Citizenship, English, Religious Studies, Philosophy and Science).  his will be a great opportunity to gather plenty of information for school projects etc as there will be masses of free literature and lots of experts to talk to. The talks will also be very useful for Youth Workers or anyone wanting to know more about humane education, vegetarianism or other animal issues.  You are welcome to come for just one talk or stop for the whole day.  For a full timetable/programme of talks and info on each of the speakers, click the links to the right.
