Christmas fairies and Santa Claus brought an all-year-round message to shoppers.

Campaigners in festive garb highlight the benefits of Free Trade produce

Volunteers from the Oxford Fair Trade coalition toured the city's coffee shops on Saturday in an eye-catching campaign.

They stopped off at cafes, pubs and restaurants from Magdalen Road, east Oxford, to the city centre.

Wearing festive fairy outfits, the volunteers were hoping to persuade traders and customers of the benefits of Fair Trade products like tea, coffee, chocolate and cookies from poor countries.
