Committed to Fair Trade
The Ark is committed to promoting fair trade, and sells a wide range of fair trade items including gifts& cards, jewellery, foods and of course serving fair traded coffee and tea. We offer a range of home made cakes and biscuits alongside our fair trade items. For children, we have a range of sweets and treats,including our famous handmade Rabbit Biscuits. Just refurbished

The Ark, has recently been refurbished to a high standard and now provides a contemporary environment in which to relax and enjoy a drink with friends and family. We have a play area for young children, which provides a safe environment with toys, games and books in which our youngest customers can play whilst their parents and careers are relaxing! People before profits
The Ark is committed to putting people before profits, we endeavor to fairly price all our products, we do not open at peak hours – so as not to take business away from other traders in Wotton under Edge, who’s livelihoods depend on their business, we also make regular donations to good causes from any profits we do make annually. To run successfully, The Ark depends on its team of dedicated volunteers, if you would like to know more about the rewards of becoming a volunteer we would be very pleased to hear from you.
