Having monitored the ongoing situation closely and continued to work with all stakeholders, including Islington Council, we have taken the decision to postpone Clerkenwell Design Week to 24-26 May 2022. 

Following the government's recent announcement, there will still be restrictions in place this May, therefore we feel that the best option for all parties involved is to postpone CDW until 2022 to ensure that we can deliver the much-loved festival without compromise. 

Postponing to next year means that we can secure CDW’s future, giving us time, as an industry and as a community, to come together and deliver an even better festival in 2022.

Whilst we are disappointed, we are also excited to announce the launch of BSPOKE, a series of focused digital events to help the industry stay connected. 

One thing we know for sure though – the appetite for a live CDW experience has grown every day this pandemic has gone on. We all long for the chance to bring that undeniable CDW buzz and splash of pink back to the streets of Clerkenwell in 2022.
