We first opened in May 2023, transforming the former Broadmead M&S into a "Department Store with a Difference". The ambitious vision of Global Goals Centre, a sustainable education charity, and Artspace Lifespace, a charity focused on creative uses for challenging spaces, we have since welcomed nearly 950,000 through our doors. To mark this achievement we’re holding events on the 9th and 10th of May and you’re invited!
