28 November – 24 December
The Ethical Christmas Fair
Ocean Terminal, Leith
Running from 28 November until Christmas Eve, The Ethical Christmas Fair opens with a wide range of exhibitors coming from Zambia, Kenya, India as well as local Scottish and Edinburgh-based arts and crafts producers including Crafts South Africa, One World Shop, Shea Aroma Company and Gecko Galleries.
This event provides shoppers with the opportunity to buy Christmas gifts for families and friends with the benefit of each purchase supporting the people who make the products from some of the poorest countries.
Among a host of highlights, watch out for the Ethical Fair “Green” Santa; local community choir Wildfire and Edinburgh Got Soul Choir and guest appearances from Lord Provost Donald Wilson on Saturday 28 November and Fairtrade Ambassador Hardeep Singh Kohli, on Sunday 29 November.
Tania Pramschufer, event organiser, Hand Up Events said: “We are delighted to have The Ethical Christmas Fair and The Real Scottish Fair at Ocean Terminal this year, both will complement the already incredible shopping experience at Ocean Terminal.”
Michelle McLeod, marketing manager at Ocean Terminal said: ‘Ocean Terminal this Christmas season is all about creativity and giving customers a unique experience. The Ethical Christmas Fair brings creativity from around the world into one retail space. We have unique gifts from three continents, as well as more locally produced crafts from Scotland. It’s a bit more than shopping, we are doing our bit to bring people together, to share stories, as well as products, from many different cultures. One creative world in one retail space’
The Real Scottish Fair runs in tandem with The Ethical Christmas Fair at the entrance of Ocean Terminal alongside Edinburgh’s much loved community owned Gorgie City Farm.
