CHI-AFRICA AT BATH CHRISTMAS MARKET 2025

Chi-Africa has always been about connection; between Chichester and Zimbabwe, between creativity and sustainability, and between us and the people who welcome our sculptures into their homes and gardens. Being at Bath Christmas Market brings that story to life all over again. Since 1999, we’ve grown from a small family business into a community built around purpose and craftsmanship, and it’s a joy to share our journey with customers old and new. If you’re visiting Bath, come and say hello - we’d love to tell you more about who we are and the artisans who make Chi-Africa what it is.

THE JOURNEY OF A BLUEBELL

A lot of people ask us what Chi-Africa means. The original answer is fairly standard, it is the amalgamation of Chichester, where we are based, and Africa where our products are produced. However, Chi-Africa has come to be an embodiment of a lifestyle for many of us involved with the company. A company with a purpose and with a great background story. We created our business in 1999, and it is still a pleasure to explain more about who & what Chi-Africa is.
