The Ark recently won a silver medal for its Fairtrade stance, and serves and sells a range of Tradecraft drinks and foods as well as home-made cakes and biscuits. It is unique in that there is a designated area for young children to play safely, allowing mums to relax over their coffee.

Very friendly welcome from volunteer staff and some of the locals. This community spirited place to meet was an absolute joy as we ordered our coffee and cake from the quite extensive selection. Delicious cake, excellent coffee but it was wonderful to share stories and experiences with such beautiful people, a true credit to Wotton under Edge.
