Sponsorship & partnerships

Put your brand at the centre of the conversations shaping design.

Clerkenwell Design Week brings architects, designers, manufacturers and creative decision makers together across three days of exhibitions, installations, talks and events in London’s design district.

We work with partners to create experiences that add something meaningful to the festival: from a standout installation or industry conversation to a useful service, an evening event or a campaign that reaches our audience before and during CDW.

Clerkenwell Design Week returns 25–27 May 2027.

CDW offers brands a way to meet the people influencing the spaces where we live, work and gather.

A partnership can help you introduce a product or idea, build relationships with a particular audience, contribute to a design conversation, or create an experience people seek out and remember. We develop each proposal around the partner’s objectives and the role it can play within the festival.

Ways to partner

  • Create an experience
    Bring an installation, material story or interactive concept to life in Clerkenwell. We can explore locations, creative collaborators and how visitors will engage with it.

  • Support the conversations
    Partner with a talks programme, curated session or industry gathering that connects your brand to relevant ideas and people.

  • Be part of the festival journey
    Help visitors discover and navigate CDW through wayfinding, maps, welcome points or other useful touchpoints across the district.

  • Bring people together
    Host or support a reception, opening celebration, tour or VIP experience designed around the audience you want to meet.

  • Extend your reach
    Combine activity at CDW with relevant content, newsletters, social media and digital placements to build awareness before and during the festival.

    These are starting points. Partnerships are shaped around the brief, available opportunities and practical requirements.
