Cafe Rwanda and Craft Fair at Bakewell Town Hall
Cafe Rwanda and Craft Fair at Bakewell Town Hall
Established in 2011, 'Café Rwanda' started in Wirksworth and since expanding into Bakewell has become a popular feature held monthly in the Town Hall. Run by volunteers the Café sells tea, coffee and a broad range of cakes and home made fayre. A Craft Fair is also in the hall where you can browse or purchase local or Rwandan handmade goods.
All our Rwandan products have been made by highly skilled craftsmen and women from the PHaRP (Peace, Healing and Reconciliation Programme) in Rwanda. All funds raised from sales go towards the Trust’s projects to support the people of Rwanda directly.
