The Midlands Maternity & Midwifery Festival takes place at the King Power Stadium, Leicester on Tuesday 9th April 2019.
The festival will feature our usual mix of high quality speakers, the latest industry innovations in our exhibition area, free taster treatments in our wellbeing zone and of course our second midwifery awards ceremony of the year.

There are many worthy nominees on the list, but we have to give a special mention to University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust who have managed to be shortlisted in every award category – the first time this has happened at one of our festivals.
