The Vegan Society Celebrates 80th Year With “World’s Biggest Ever Vegan Exhibition”

The Vegan Society is celebrating its 80th year with an exhibition titled "Veganism: Past, Present and Future" at the Library of Birmingham. This exhibition, claimed to be the world's biggest ever vegan exhibition, will showcase the history of veganism, the current movement, and how vegan lifestyles may evolve in the future. Visitors can expect to see a range of items from The Vegan Society's archive, including the wartime ration book of the first Vegan Society President, Donald Watson, and a letter exchange between Watson and the Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw.

The exhibition, free to attend and suitable for all ages, will also feature activities such as a virtual reality experience showing a vegan future and a play kitchen. This event coincides with Libby Peppiatt taking on the role of CEO of The Vegan Society. Dr Sam Calvert of The Vegan Society expresses excitement about sharing the organization's history, current work, and future plans with the public at the Library of Birmingham, a location central to the vegan movement.
