People will be able to sample fair trade chocolate at the Bronte Parsonage Museum and Bronte Weaving Shed in Haworth this month.
The venture is part of Haworth’s Fairtrade Fortnight celebrations and will take place for most of the day on Saturday, February 28.
There will be a quiz about fairtrade and Haworth, with entry forms available for collection at the Tourist Information Centre, in Main Street. The winner will receive a hamper of fairtrade goods, donated by Oakworth Co-op.
Also, cafes in Haworth will be serving refreshments made from ethically-purchased ingredients and there will be a fairtrade ‘Chuffin Fair’ at the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway’s Oxenhope engine shed at 6.30pm, attended by Bruce Crowther, who launched the nationwide movement of fairtrade towns. He was recently awarded an MBE.
The event will also include a raffle, music and a fashion show.
Rita Verity, of Haworth Fairtrade group, said there were only a limited number of places available for the fair. Anyone interested should call her on (01535) 647776.
