I marked this year's Fairtrade Fortnight at a fantastic event in Brighton's Jubilee Square.

The Square was transformed for the day into a fair trade marketplace, selling a range of goods from food to fashion.

It was brought fully to life by music, dancing and some inspiring speakers, including Norma Gadea, a Fairtrade coffee producer from Nicaragua, who spoke about her experience as a farmer.

Organised by the Brighton & Hove Fair Trade Steering Group, the day was a great success.

It demonstrated the impressive quality and quantity of fair trade goods now available, and demonstrated that fair trade makes a real difference to people's lives.
