Clerkenwell Grad Week (CGW)
July 2026

Clerkenwell hosts ‘Clerkenwell Grad Week’ July 2026

Clerkenwell Showrooms (CS) has the largest collection of furniture and contract material showrooms in Europe. It has a tradition of supporting design students.

From 2025, CS has identified that regional Design Universities need help in getting their students into central London to show their work and meet potential employer contacts.

This idea has grown to become ‘Clerkenwell Grad Week’ (CGW) - a celebration of the best of British design from regional design universities. The event will occur in July to coincide with New Designers show in Islington.

CS is seeking support from local design establishments to make Clerkenwell Grad Week - an affordable way for students to come to London and show their work.

Interior Educators Awards
In 2025, CS helped Interior Educators (IE) host their awards at Miller Knoll.

Helping Regional Design Universities
CS welcomes interest for regional design universities in the UK that wish to participate in CGW 2026.

Expanding New Designers
Starting as an off-site for ‘New Designers’ at Business Design Centre, CS plan for Clerkenwell Grad Week to become a celebration of regional design excellence showcased in the Clerkenwell District.
