The Festival
Birmingham Design Festival
10th–12th June 2026
Join us in June 2026 as we spent three days celebrating design in all its forms. Over 80 speakers across three days in multiple venues.
About the festival
Our festival is a biennial celebration of design held in June across Birmingham City Centre.
For three days, visitors can expect to choose from 20 free talks per day in one of our four Design Districts before coming together in the evening for a headline event in one of our larger venues.
In addition to talks, there’s a plethora of workshops, exhibitions, design tours and more to enjoy across the three days.
“If you haven’t been, the festival has a great ego-free, relaxed vibe, mainly down to Luke Tonge Daniel Alcorn and their fantastic teams.”
Michael Johnson, Johnson Banks
