The School of Design have been planning a Design Festival week of activities, events and workshops. The festival is open to all staff and students across the whole university, and hope it will be a great design week that is informative and creative.

The week runs from 27th June to 1st July, 12-1pm, 1-2pm and 5-6pm everyday.

There will be creatives giving talks from across the design sector on Design Projects, Creative Mindsets, Creative Collaboration, Design Business and Design Talks, along with prizes!

For more information, you can email coshrimpton@arden.ac.uk or visit the Design Festival Twitter feed.
