How we created new products for Durham Cathedral
We were tasked with creating several ranges for a new shop being built at the cathedral that was formerly The Great Kitchen. The Art of Cookery by John Thacker gave us plenty of inspiration to design new products including postcards, tote bags, magnets and notebooks.
Monks called Durham Cathedral home for over 450 years since construction first started in 1093. These playful illustrations are inspired by the monks’ daily life, worship and work at the cathedral.
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.
