Design Festival North: Liverpool
Entering its fifth year, Design Festival North 2025 promises to captivate and inspire the Northern architecture and design community.
Leveraging over 15 years of experience in the interiors industry, Design Social North continues to deliver exceptional design experiences through innovative events and creative workshops.
The festival showcases a diverse range of design-led businesses, including those specialising in acoustics, technology, fabrics, furniture and more. This curated selection ensures that attendees are immersed in creativity, surrounded by top industry players
Starting in Leeds in March, the festival will travel to the North's most vibrant cities: Manchester, Newcastle, Sheffield, and Liverpool. Each city will highlight its distinct design characteristics, from Liverpool’s cultural heritage to Newcastle’s innovation, Sheffield’s industrial charm, and Leeds’ vibrant creativity. The tour will culminate in a grand finale in Liverpool, bringing together the best of Northern design.
Design Festival North is more than a series of events; it is a powerful platform for networking, collaboration, and inspiration. As it moves through these iconic cities, the festival underscores the importance of industry connections. After all, it’s not what you know, it’s who you know.
This journey through creativity and connections is set to shape the future of design in the North.
