Talks, demonstrations and workshops

Meet the Designer sessions and Designer Close Ups will reveal new projects and insider tips from the best in the business in an intimate exchange.
Original collaborations between designers and tastemakers
Like Christmas windows, but in March, designers and artists are collaborating to create distinct art installations, to be displayed throughout the various rooms. Figureheads from the worlds of art, architecture, decoration, design and fashion will work together to make one-off creations full of “skill, wit and nerve”.
Design trends made couture for the home
A series of interactive events mean guests can learn how to make statement items bespoke for their own homes. Jacaranda Carpets, Siberian Floors, Houlès, Artisans of Devizes’ Q&A sessions, Jacaranda Carpets, Summit Furniture and Topfloor by Esti will all host practical advice sessions on everything from digital marketing of your own brand blog, to ways to enhance fixtures, fittings and furnishings to fit your own needs.
