Design Show Liverpool

- Success

Design Show Liverpool took place in the city's Contemporary Urban Centre over four days: 19th - 22nd June. The show brought 173 exhibitors together with almost 7,000 design savvy visitors.

Feedback from the show has been overwhelmingly positive. One visitor commented that there was "a lot of creative design talent blended neatly under one roof. Liverpool Design Show is the new paradigmatic showcase for cutting edge, yet accessible design excellence."

Sarah Elderkin Development Director, Design Initiative says "we are delighted to have worked with Momentous Events to create an event of this scale and quality in Liverpool. We have been working to support the design industry in Liverpool and the region for 16 years; encouraging new businesses, promoting the best talent and helping them to find buyers. Design Show Liverpool has been a great platform for designers in Merseyside and beyond, with half of the exhibitors being from the North West region."
