Design Social North

The North of the UK has a vast concentration of design and creative agencies featuring some of the UK’s biggest and best.

We are Design Social North and we curate captivating and exciting Northern events for designers, architects, specifiers, suppliers, contractors, developers and operators.

To stimulate and celebrate this rich and diverse community, we created
Design Festival North. Held annually, The festival is a 3-day showcase of leading design brands and companies, presented in a series of events taking place in showrooms across Manchester and our special ‘design hub’ at a venue in the City Centre.

“With DesignFestivalNorth we are looking to emphasise the true collaborative nature of creative businesses in the North and help the creative sector flourish and grow. We want to show how versatile the sector is and ensure it can maintain its unique innovative, ground-breaking and globally renown position”.
