Chester Design Foundation

A concept store, gallery and creative hub in Chester was officially opened last week by the CEO of the British Fashion Council.

Chester Design Foundation, which will contain the ōH Concept Store and ōH Collective atelier studio, opened on Bridge Street on Thursday (November 2).

The mission of the recently formed Foundation, an entrepreneurial community interest company (CIC), is to support the growth and development of the creative industries in the city – both start-ups and scale-ups – so that a sustainable place on Chester’s high-street is a genuine reality and migrating to Liverpool, Manchester or London to progress is optional, not conditional.
