This Autumn, from 4 to 5 October, the Clerkenwell Design Trail (CDT) will bring the A&D community together to re-connect and network across Clerkenwell’s historic cobbles.

The two-day programme will be jam packed with engaging events all within walking distance, allowing visitors to explore the area with ease and discover the latest cutting-edge products for commercial interiors. CDT showrooms will showcase product launches and new collections as well as host workshops, talks, demonstrations, parties and more, spotlighting Clerkenwell as the UK's most important hub for design.
Participating showrooms include high-end furniture, surfaces, acoustic specialist, kitchen and bathroom brands who will all be throwing open their doors for a series of engaging events over the two days.
