Unifying community and opportunity for creatives in the North of England.

Northern Design Festival Team Members

Who We Are

The Northern Design Festival was founded in October 2024. At the time, our team was fully student-led. As students, we experienced first-hand the lack of creative opportunities in the North and wanted to make a change. With a soul mission to provide free and accessible opportunities, we are allowing people from all backgrounds to be able to enter the industry and emerge as successful creatives.

What We Do

From design workshops and talks to art installations, we aim to foster a creative community for creatives from different backgrounds to flourish in.
