Clerkenwell Design Week 2026

Clerkenwell Design Week is the United Kingdom’s leading interior design festival, held each May in London’s Clerkenwell (EC1) district, with its 2026 edition marking fifteen years since its founding in 2011. Over three days, it turns the area’s permanent showrooms and exhibition venues into a citywide festival, with 2026 bringing together more than 500 brands across upwards of 180 showrooms and 16 exhibition spaces.

The festival draws a largely trade audience, about three-quarters of visitors are architects, interior designers or specifiers, covering categories from surfaces, lighting and bathrooms to contract furniture, workplace design and architectural hardware. Visitors experience product launches, installations, talks and a dedicated Showroom Programme of workshops and events staged inside participating brands’ own spaces. The 2026 edition attracted over 45,000 visitors, underlining its position as a key fixture on London’s design calendar.
