It's the annual Fairtrade Fair at the Buttermarket today, with silver jewellery from Timbuktu, a stall with information about the Hay, Brecon and Talgarth Sanctuary for Refugees, food and olive oil from Zaytoun, and embroidery from Bethlehem, Love Zimbabwe with tablecloths and metal sculptures, pottery, Christmas decorations, and more.
I bought two slate coasters, featuring a turtle which reminded me of Discworld and a tree that looked as if it had come straight out of Lord of the Rings (the lady who made them had never heard of Discworld!)
Also in the middle of town this week, there's a pop up Christmas shop at The Chair. Five different vendors are sharing the space, and when I went in yesterday some jolly Ukrainian folk music was playing - to go with the gorgeous embroidered clothing from Ukraine at the back of the shop.
