    Arkadash

    Posted by Lizza 7 October 2007

    I found a lovely little clothing and body care shop that sells only fair trade and organic products for all the family. I fell in love with it as I have never been in a shop selling only ethical goods. I didn't even realise at first which really added to the appeal. The staff were really helpful and informative and there wasn't a sign of any unattractive hippy clothing. And apparently they have a fan club that some of their customers have set up on facebook.

    They have two shops, in Chorlton, Manchester (15 min bus ride from city centre) and Headingley, Leeds.

    The Basement

    Posted by tricks 11 September 2006

    If you want to find out what's going on in 'alternative' Manchester - go to the Basement. A space for people to meet, eat and take action on a range of social causes. There's also a shop stocking a range of ethical and vegetarian wares.

    The Marble Arch

    Posted by sgredding 16 January 2006

    A beautiful grade II listed pub with much of its original interior - a sloping mosaic floor and glazed tile ceiling. What's more, the Marble Brewery is entirely vegan and organic and brews five of its own beers.
