Wolverhampton
Fair Traid
Friends of Wolverhampton Fair Traid will be pleased to know that
we have opened a pop-up shop in the Mander Centre, Wolverhampton.
We will be open until Christmas Eve, 10.00am – 5.00pm, Mondays –
Saturdays and would love to see you!
We are in a very small unit on the ground floor, 2 doors away
from Bon Marche. We are well stocked with chocolates (several
vegan varieties) and socks as well as a variety of craft and gift
items.
Because we are in such a small space, we are not selling tea and
freeze-dried coffee there but do have a space at Beckminster
Methodist Church, WV3 7BQ and are open each Wednesday between now
and Christmas, 10.00am – 12.00 noon.
How about buying ethically sourced goods this week instead of
signing up to Black Friday!
