About the Event

Margate Festival of Design: Design for All 26 - 31 October 2024 We're excited to announce that Margate Festival of Design is returning for the 3rd year. Margate Festival of Design is an annual festival of talks, workshops and exhibitions that invites you to celebrate and explore inspiring design projects and innovations that can help create a better future for people and planet, in Margate, Thanet and beyond.

At this year’s festival we’ll be exploring and celebrating inclusive and accessible design, because good design must connect with everyone.
