Anticipation for Birmingham Design Festival 2025: What Awaits Us Next Year

ʌh-huh, mate! Get ready to immerse yourself in a brilliant design bonanza – the 'Birmingham Design Festival'! This event, now in its seventh whopper of a year, happens on the 12th and 13th of June, 2025, with the infectious theme of "Play"[1][2][4].

On the 12th, the fun rolls over to Birmingham City University. Expect a day packed with hands-on workshops! You'll find yourself engrossed in activities like collage sessions with Jimmy Turrell and Stephen Smith, model making with Amanda Thomas, and diving into the creative world of McCann[1].

But wait, there's more! On the following day, the action moves to Birmingham Town Hall[4]. Enjoy an entire day of talks from designers and studios across various disciplines, such as illustration, branding, motion, and editorial design[1]. Brace yourself for inspiring speakers like Aardman's Merlin Crossingham, experimental designer Kelli Anderson, The Guardian’s Chris Clarke, Studio Dumbar's Liza Enebeis, Barcelona-based designer Javier Jaén, and the creatives at Templo[1].

The festival's speaker selection is all about influence, inspiration, and, of course, fun – each one of them embodying the conference's 2025 theme, "Play"[1]. Luke Tonge and Daniel Alcorn, the brilliant minds behind Birmingham Design Festival, can hardly wait for their admired industry peers to join them in sun-soaked Brum[1].
