For those coffee lovers out there I don’t think there is anywhere better to be this weekend than The Bath Coffee Festival which is returning to the Recreation Ground for the second year this weekend (21st and 22nd May).
It’s a free event and there is loads deomnstrations and classes for all the coffee connoisseurs to get stucjk into. You can check out the timetable of what going on at www.bathcoffeefestival.co.uk.
This year, two new features at the festival are the World of Coffee and the Coffee Academy, where informative hands-on workshops will be held. Workshops range from latte art demonstrations to how to use and care for your grinder, talks on how you can become a top barista and a fun class on painting with coffee. To register for any of these, visit www.bathcoffeefestival.co.uk before the weekend or sign up on the day.
Other free attractions include the Teddy Bear’s Picnic with marmalade sandwiches (my personal favourite) hosted by Paddington Bear at 1.30pm each day, bouncy castle, tea-cup and saucer ride, salsa and samba workshops and plenty more!
Festival opening times:
Saturday 21st May 2011 – 10am – 5pm
Sunday 22nd May 2011 – 11am – 4.30pm
So if you fancy a great cup of coffee and a marmalade sandwich make sure you get to Bath this weekend.

Today millions of small producers, artisans, farmers and small-hold manufacturers, Fair Trade producers, traders and consumers will celebrate World Fair Trade Day.
With more than a third of the worlds’s population living in poverty we still think now is the time more than ever to support fair trade. The global crisis confirms the need for fair and sustainable economy locally and globally, and for trade to deliver sustainable livelihoods and development opportunities to small producers.
At bibico we have seen this first hand. We have seen the producers we work with grow substantially thanks to the partnership we have developed with them and the willinginess for our customers to support fair trade. This growth has a ripple effect and does not only enhance the lives of the people working in the cooperatives but it also benefits their families and the communities in which they live in.
While some people don’t support this idea we feel Fair Trade is an effective and efficient response to poverty and contributes to a fair and sustainable economy locally and globally.
The theme to this years World Fair Trade Day 2011 is
“TRADE FOR PEOPLE – Fair Trade your world”
*“The theme encompasses the strong belief in the need to put people and the environment at the heart of trade and consumption, Trade for people means trade for sustainable development of local communities. More than half a century of Fair Trade has proven that trade can be a most efficient tool for poverty alleviation, trade can change lives and communities.
Fair Trade your world stands for private consumers to include Fair Trade in their shopping bag, for business to include Fair Trade in their supply and offices, for local authorities and national governments to include Fair Trade in public procurement in a strive for responsible consumption.” (wfto)
So make sure you get involved with fair trade today. Whether it be buying fair trade clothing, drinking a fair trade coffee or attending a world fair trade event.
To find out about a event going on near you take a look at the wfto website.
