As part of SPARKS Bristol’s first birthday celebrations and UN World Fair Trade Day, there will be a Fair & Fabulous Tea Party at SPARKS, in partnership with Bristol Fair Trade, Bristol Link with Nicaragua and Bristol Food Network.

This is a chance to think more about fairness in our food supplies.

You will hear from Flora, a Fairtrade farmer from Nicaragua and how the cooperative she is part of and the Fairtrade system has helped her become an independent business woman. There will be plenty of opportunity to ask Flora questions to find out more.

There will also be the chance to hear from some great local farmers and producers, and Bristol Food Network will talk about the city’s plans for a more sustainable food system. Try some food samples and enjoy a delicious afternoon tea.

So come along to celebrate a fantastic year of SPARKS and hear some great producer stories.

Note: Flora is visiting from Nicaragua for only two weeks in a visit arranged by Bristol Link with Nicaragua and Bristol Fair Trade Network. Most of her visit will be spent in schools in the area helping childcare learn more about Fairtrade. It will also be UN World Fair Trade day that, so do take this opportunity to hear her story and find out more.
