The London Design Festival is the UK’s premier Festival of contemporary design, and one of the world’s most important annual design events.
The ten-day Festival programme is made up of over 280 events and exhibitions staged by 200 partner organisations across the design spectrum and from around the world
As the Hub of the Festival, the V&A is the first point of call for Festival visitors; it is the ideal place to meet, pick up information, visit inspiring installations and events, and to enjoy the Festival atmosphere.
Throughout the Museum there is an array of specially commissioned installations and displays to enjoy, and a broad programme of special events, talks and workshops that take place throughout the week in the bright, modern setting of the V&A's Sackler Centre, and in the Museum.
