We have a long history of working with Canterbury Cathedral. Instead of selling to the buyer we turned up with a notepad, pen and an open mind. This was refreshing for them who allowed us free reign to tour the grounds for inspiration. We had two clear directives to focus on; stained glass and architecture.
The first range we came up with was focusing on the beautiful stained glass at the cathedral, of which there are plenty of references to take inspiration from.
We can created a ‘generic’ design using some of the accent features/borders around the edges of the windows as well as specific designs based on the unique stories being told in the stained glass.
Our second range was from the Jesus Chapel in the Eastern Crypt which features a beautiful motif that immediately lends itself to a repeat pattern design.
Taking inspiration from a tapestry hanging in the Chapel of Our Lady Martyrdom. Beautiful, vivid colours can be applied across a variety of products to create a striking souvenir range.
Finally, our fourth range of products were derived from beautifully intricate floor tiles are everywhere throughout the cathedral. We picked up on this series in the Trinity Chapel. Plenty more could be added to this range from other tiles and masonry around the cathedral grounds.
To get started we will typically arrange for a video call to discuss your requirements and what you are hoping to achieve.
The next stage is to create a design brief that will outline where our focus will be. Once this is agreed, either a site visit by one of the design team will be arranged or you can send us any concepts, imagery and useful information.
Next up we start to work on initial concepts that are reviewed for early stage approval before going on to design a full range of giftware for production.
Finally, sit back and wait for your exclusive range of souvenirs to be delivered to your door.
Judges continue to go above and beyond in their service and support to us. They are outstanding in their ability to understand our requirements, offering us low run items with prices where we can effectively retail the items to our visitors to support our fundraising. I would highly recommend anyone within the sector to explore collaborating with Judges.

The Hodge products are our best selling range in the store. It was a very easy process from design to getting our first order in with an initial run of 6 products.
We have since expanded the range and it takes pride of place in the store so every visitor can see it and have a chance of taking a piece of Hodge home with them.

We approached Judges to work a new range of gifts inspired by the design of our iconic starlight ceiling – from fridge magnets and coasters, to mugs and more. The range has been a huge success and we have continued to work with them on new lines and designs. The team always come up trumps with bespoke designs and quality products.
