Faitrade in and around Keswick
In and around Keswick you will find more Fairtrade available than in any other tourist centre in the country. There are over 150
guest houses, hotels, B&B’s, hostels and self catering properties and over 50 restaurants, cafés, tea and coffee shops which provide Fairtrade products for their guests and customers. All of these are listed in a directory, produced by Keswick and District Fairtrade Campaign, which can be found at
www.fairtradekeswick.org.uk, of which hard copies are available in the Keswick Information Centre in Moot Hall.
