Show off your label - it's Fairtrade Fortnight!

Lancaster City Council is supporting Fairtrade Fortnight and asking shops and other organisations to “Show off your label” from 28th February until 13th March 2011.

Lancaster district is a Fairtrade District and this year, the Fairtrade Foundation is asking everyone to shout about the Fairtrade products you buy and which offer 7.5 million people in the developing world a more secure future.

You can support the Lancaster and Morecambe Fairtrade Group by visiting Williamson Park on Saturday 12th March  from 2-4pm. During the afternoon, you'll be able to sample Fairtrade products at the Pavilion Café and admire bunting prepared by local school children.

There will be free Fairtrade hot chocolate for each child on the production of an admission ticket to the park's Butterfly House bought on the day.
