It depends on the energy, creativity and support of industry and community contributors (like you!) to bring the programme to life.

Belfast Design Week is co-organised by designer, podcaster and educator Karishma Kusurkar and Christine James founder of Belfast based creative non-profit organisation Blick Shared Studios. The main festival has featured a wide range of events, including talks, workshops, exhibitions, and pop-ups.

Contributors come from a broad variety of design sectors including: User Experience, Graphic Design, Illustration, Architecture, Interior Design, Digital Design, Product Design, Game Design & Maker Culture.

Belfast Design Week is back for 2026 from 1st – 7th May as an annual event to champion and celebrate design in Belfast.
