Winchester College Trading Company Limited

The company’s principal activity is undertaking commercial activities on behalf of Winchester College. These include letting out the College’s facilities under the name of Winchester College Enterprises and publishing. Winchester College Enterprises hosts residential courses and sports and activity camps for children, organises catered events including wedding receptions, conferences and private parties, provides film locations and manages charity events on campus. Many of the College facilities are made available to the public and the College continues to forge links with the community through various economic, sports and tourism initiatives, including Heritage Open Days, Cultural Consortium, Discover Winchester, Kingsgate Village and the Business Improvement initiative. Enterprises also organises, either free or at cost, on behalf of the College, numerous charity and community events making use of the College’s facilities, including carol services, fundraising concerts, offering performance spaces for rehearsals, concerts and other performances, providing venues and meeting spaces for local charities and community groups as well as outdoor activities for local educational and community bodies.With the continued provision of College indoor sports facilities in a temporary building, and no on-site swimming pool, there continues to be reduced income from hiring of sports facilities. This will continue during 2022/23, with the new Kingsgate Park PE Centre expected to open in time for the 2023/24 academic year.
