The Northern Design Festival 2026

Dates: 12 May 2026 - 14 May 2026

Location: Various venues in Lancaster

The Northern Design Festival was founded almost three years ago. In the early days it was very much a student led event and those who took the lead recognised a lack of opportunities in the design market and felt the need to make a change.

Since 2023 the festival has grown and developed. The 2026 festival is scheduled to take place Wednesday 13th May – Friday 15th May across various venues in Lancaster.

Presently the programme is still to be announced but those attending can definitely experience hands – on workshops, inspiring talks, networking moments and lots of fun.

The website is active and will notify in due time new and impending announcements –
