In December 2020, CHI opened its own shop called ‘Venture’ in Bargates, Christchurch. Venture is situated at the front of our new base and sells a range of items made by local makers, creatives and local education-based enterprise projects. The shop offers our students an opportunity to learn about high street retail and the day-to-day requirements of running a small outlet and understanding the different opportunities that creative enterprise and self-employment can offer.
