Clerkenwell Design Week (CDW) will return to London’s EC1 district from May 20-22 for its 14th edition as a leading global design festival.

The 2025 event will be the largest yet, introducing three new exhibition venues – the historic medieval and Tudor buildings of The Charterhouse and Charterhouse Square, which will host artist Alex Chinneck’s major new public artwork, St Bartholomew the Great, the capital’s oldest parish church, and Studio Smithfield, a Grade II listed building above the iconic Smithfield Market in the heart of the Culture Mile. These additions will form a vibrant and bustling new southern district for the festival.

Meanwhile, the 2025 edition will feature a host of curated events throughout Clerkenwell. Visitors can explore an impressive lineup of international exhibitors and cutting-edge products showcased across more than 16 venues and 160 local design showrooms.

“We’re thrilled to be back in Clerkenwell this May with our largest programme yet, both in scale and content,” says Marlon Cera-Marle, design division director at Media 10, the organiser of the annual design festival. “The new venues, including some of London’s most historic landmarks, will provide a stunning backdrop for presenting some of the world’s most exciting design brands.

 “This year, we’re especially excited to announce one of our headline features – a surreal public artwork by the acclaimed British artist Alex Chinneck. As one of the most attended specification events on the A&D calendar, CDW 2025 will once again serve as a platform for discovering new trends, talent and ideas. We look forward to sharing more details about the programme in the coming months.”
