What is a CHIp Hub?

A CHIp Hub is an empty shopfront that has been repurposed temporarily as a community space. A place to sell products, exhibit artwork, a venue for events and meetings and a safe and free spot to just simply hangout in the town centre. We also have a partnership with GET who provide the community with free books.

How does it work?

We at CHIp have unlocked the space for the community but it requires the community to make it a buzzing place to be. We welcome local traders, artists, crafters and friendly volunteers to come occupy our hub. People can organise meetings during opening hours and hire the space in the evenings for events. The Hub is a flexible space that can be accessible for all.

How much does it cost?

We aim to be as fair and affordable for the usage of the space. The prices below are current example rates, however it will be discussed should you be interested.

Traders - £50 per week for section of Hub
