Welcoming Winchester Cathedral’s new Business Partner Chalkdown
Winchester Cathedral has long been a source of awe and inspiration, with its intricate architecture and storied past. But more than this, it is a vibrant hub of creativity, showcasing artistic installations that draw people from all walks of life to experience this extraordinary and spiritual place.

As a local business with a shared passion for craftsmanship, we deeply appreciate the beauty that emerges from the hands of many. We are proud to partner with this iconic institution and support the remarkable work it does.Piotr Nahajski, Winemaker & Founder of Chalkdown

This partnership began with a conversation about the Lantern Parade, and soon grew into a meaningful connection, marked by a visit and tour of the cathedral. Since then, we’ve learnt so much about each other’s work and discovered shared values rooted in creativity and excellence. They have taken the time to truly engage with life here- meeting cathedral staff and volunteers on subsequent visits. It has been exciting to see this partnership evolve, and we look forward to introducing them more fully to everyone here.Clare Lean, Corporate Partnership Manager Winchester Cathedral
