Integral to the festival are the local resident design showrooms, who partner with Clerkenwell Design Week every year, providing the festival with a stimulating programme of topic-led events including talks, workshops and product launches.

CDW features seven exhibition venues dotted across EC1, all showcasing a curated mix of leading brands and emerging talent - covering furniture, lighting, textile, surface, accessory and product design from around the world.

CDW presents a variety of new design projects and street spectacles, commissioned specially for the festival and featured prominently around Clerkenwell. This year, to coincide with our 10th anniversary we celebrate with candle-like beacons, historical Clerkenwell tales and more.

Clerkenwell is home to a variety of creative practices including architects, branding agencies and craft studios. In celebration of the event, many of these local practices opened their doors to the festival's visitors and host workshops, displays and installations.
