Clerkenwell Design Week has been postponed to July

Popular with Dubai designers, the UK festival will now run from 14 to 16 July.

Clerkenwell Design Week has been postponed. The design festival was originally scheduled to take place in May but will now run from 14 to 16 July. The organisers took the decision to postpone the event in light of the Coronavirus pandemic.

Clerkenwell Design Week (CDW) is the UK’s leading independent design festival. It is very popular with designers from Dubai and the GCC.

Lee Newton, CEO of Media 10, the event’s organiser, said: “We will continue to regularly consult with all relevant parties as we work towards delivering the best possible CDW. The safety and wellbeing of all those involved is our priority. We are grateful for the support we have received from our exhibitors and partners in making this difficult decision. These new dates provide us with an opportunity to deliver a very successful CDW in the height of the British summer.”
