The event that filled the festival-sized-hole in Birmingham’s creative scene is back for another year of exciting, wonderfully creative and engaging workshops, galleries, screenings, talks and exhibitions.
This is the second year the design festival has been running and was started in 2017 by a group of Midland’s based designers who wanted to remedy the gap in the creative scene. BDF was created to show the world that the city’s design community should be taken seriously.
The festival runs over four days from the 6th ot the 8th of June and aims to invite the local community and beyond to immerse themselves in the jam packed programme that is definitely going to delight and surprise.
Most of the events at Birmingham Design Festival are free to attend or very low cost and are available to anyone, no matter where you stand on the industry ladder.
The Birmingham design festival has been created to be an immersive experience for everyone attending and so allow the organisers to create more hubs across the city and engage audiences in close quarters, they have split ‘design’ into three key areas of study called districts.
The three split districts are Graphic, Digital and Product and they are laid out to consist of a series of satellite venues based around the main hub. Each space is tailored for individual purposes such as screenings, exhibitions, workshops, lectures and for multiple event happening at the same time.
The main hubs are BCU parkside, The Old Library and BCU Steamhouse. The Evening venues include Mama Rouxs, The Giant Screen and BCU Conservatoire. Other venues you can attend an event at include Impact Hub, Mockingbird Theatre, Medicine Bakery & Gallery, BCU Curzon, Zellig Gallery Church and Custard Factory, The Arches.
