As part of the anniversary, York Fair Trade Forum hosted an event at Mansion House on Thursday, and York Central MP Rachael Maskell tabled a motion in parliament to recognise the milestone.
Guests at the forum event included several members of the original group whose efforts were so crucial in achieving Fairtrade City status, among them York’s Lord Mayor Chris Cullwick, who opened the event.
He also awarded prizes to children from Cawood and Hempland primary schools who had won a competition to design posters celebrating the anniversary.
