Easter Holidays

By choosing Fairtrade this Easter, people can share and enjoy these sweet treats with family and friends while helping to ensure cocoa farmers and their families in developing nations are getting a fair deal.

Buying Fairtrade chocolate also helps tackle the issues of child trafficking and labour - both major problems resulting from cocoa production which are sure to leave a bitter taste in any chocolate lover’s mouth.

More and more local people are coming to the Small World to buy Fairtrade products, including chocolate, because they know it is a practical way to purchase great tasting, sustainably produced goods that provide a better deal and stable livelihoods for the world's poorest producers.

The last day of trading before the shop closes for Easter will be Thursday 12th April (10-12 & 2-4). The Small World Shop will be closed on Good Friday and Easter Saturday, reopening on Tuesday 17th at 10 a.m.
