Gather
BDF happens in June, but what do you do when you need a fix of exceptional creative speakers and a friendly local design community? You Gather.
Gather is our bi-annual event, held on a Thursday evening at The Crossing in Digbeth.
About Gather
Twice a year, in Spring and Autumn, we get together at The Crossing in Digbeth to put on a special evening of speakers, street food and shopping.
Initially part of the Glug family, after the pandemic ‘Glug Birmingham’ rebranded as ‘Gather’ – with similar vibes and format to help continue the tradition of a regular creative event in the BDF calendar.
We host Gather on a Thursday night from 7pm–10pm, usually with four speakers and a healthy supply of food and the Birmingham Design Shop.
Keep an eye on our social media for the next event. You can follow us on Instagram and X.
