00:00What sets us apart from other shops is that we stock really, really, really high quality handmade goods
00:07that are made to last a lifetime, made to be repaired, and just generally bring back a shopping experience
00:15from yesteryears where we're supporting local, very skilled craftspeople.
00:2130% of the work that we sell in the shop is actually made on site, which is really unusual for Cabot Circus.
00:29So right now I'm in our exhibition space. We've just extended it, and we have exhibitions here every other month
00:37where we take on the whole space, artists take on the whole space.
00:41We also run workshops here. When we haven't got an exhibition, it turns into a cafe space and an extension of our shop.
00:48We hire the space out and don't charge any profit. It's just because we want to make sure that the space is as accessible as possible.
00:56Our current exhibition is called On the Wing, and it's a collective of seven artists who are all making work, mixed media, with the subject of birds.
01:06We started a coffee, cake, and tea offering in the shop to drive more footfall.
01:12Because we have so many events and workshops, it just makes so much sense for us to offer a hospitality edition.
01:19We want to try and do it a little bit differently. We're zero waste, and we want to start with trying to not use any single waste coffee cups at all.
01:28We're using edible coffee cups. I'll show you an example here.
01:34If you have a gluten intolerance or allergy, because these are like an ice cream cone wafer, you can have one of our mugs or bring your own for 50p off the coffee.
01:46The coffee that we buy is from Wogan, which is a local roaster's really close to the shop.
01:52It's all direct trade, and 10% of every coffee goes to Team Canteen, who are a CIC in Bristol who are working with the hospitality sector and local charities to reduce food insecurities in Bristol.
02:07So yeah, every cup of coffee makes a difference.
