ABOUT THE FESTIVAL


The Liverpool Design Festival presents a varied programme which involves leading designers, retailers and national design organisations. There are unique opportunities to buy contemporary design direct from the designer and to take part in workshops and debates.

The Liverpool Design Festival aims to reinforce design as a major part of the Liverpool’s creative economy and enhances the city’s world-class reputation as a creative hub.

Thanks to the City of Liverpool for its financial support for the Liverpool Design Festival, which has also been supported by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.

The Festival has been conceived and created by Design Initiative with the support of our partners Kirsty Doyle and Kiosk.

Design Initiative has supported designers in Liverpool and latterly across the North West England region since its inception in 1992, and following successful trade missions,  taking some of the region’s best design talent to events in London and Milan, the Design Initiative team turned its attention to creating a major new Festival in Liverpool.

The Festival presents unique opportunities for sponsors and funding partners and Design Initiative would be delighted to discuss potential funding and new sponsorship relationships.

We are keen to hear from designers and other potential partners interested in taking part in the Festival in the future.

If you would like to hold your own event and help to build the Liverpool Design Festival programme for 2012, please contact Julie Colligan on 0151 709 1566 julie@designinit.org.uk
