People will be able to sample fairtrade chocolate at the Brontë Parsonage Museum and Brontë Weaving Shed, in Haworth, later this month.
The chocolate tasting on Saturday, February 28, is part of Haworth’s Fairtrade Fortnight celebrations. 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 Fairtrade goods hamper, donated by the Oakworth Co-op store.
Also, cafés in Haworth will be serving refreshments made from ethically purchased ingredients.
And the day will culminate with a Fairtrade “Chuffin Fair” at the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway’s Oxenhope engine shed, in Mill Lane. The 6.30pm fair will be attended by Bruce Crowther, who was responsible for launching the nationwide movement of Fairtrade towns.
Rita Verity, of Haworth Fairtrade group, said there were only a limited number of places available for the fair. Contact her on 01535 647776.
