Interior Design Trade Show | Design Central North West September 2026

Welcome to Design Central North West 2026, returning to the beautiful Capesthorne Hall for our landmark 10 year anniversary.

Over the past decade, the show has grown into one of the region’s most anticipated design events, bringing together interior professionals and the people behind the brands shaping today’s industry.

As we enter our second decade, 2026 marks an exciting new chapter. This year, Design Central is partnering with Larsen Architecture to introduce a new layer of business-focused learning, alongside the inspiration and supplier discovery the show is known for.

Join us on 22nd and 23rd September 2026 for two days filled with inspiration, creativity and meaningful connection. Wander through the halls and marquees at your own pace, meet suppliers face to face and discover the latest launches in fabrics, wallcoverings, furniture, lighting, flooring and more.

Whether you are sourcing for upcoming projects, seeking fresh ideas for clients or looking to strengthen the business side of your practise, this is the place to be.

• Interior designers

• Interior decorators

• Architects

• Stylists

• Specifiers

• Developers

If you source products for clients or are involved in the design process, this event is made for you.

As Design Central enters its tenth year, this collaboration with Larsen Architecture reflects a natural evolution of the show and what designers have told us they need more of.

While Design Central has always been about inspiration, sourcing and connection, we know that many designers are also looking for support on the business side of their work. How to price with confidence, how to position their studio and how to build stronger, more effective relationships with clients and suppliers.

Working with Larsen Architecture allows us to bring that layer into the show in a way that feels relevant and practical.

Across both days, the Talk Space programme will include a mix of conversations, interviews and focused sessions that explore these topics in a clear, grounded way. The aim is to give you insight you can take away and apply, alongside the inspiration and supplier discovery the show is known for.

It’s about creating a more complete experience. One that supports not just how you design, but how you grow.

To mark our 10 year anniversary, we are introducing new ticket options designed to give you even more from your visit.

Access to the full show across both days, including all exhibitor areas and Talk Space** sessions. Includes a raffle entry.

• Closer parking

• Reserved seating for Talk Space** sessions

• A Design Central gift

Design Central North West is created exclusively for interior professionals, offering a focused and supportive environment where you can browse, explore and specify with confidence.

We are proud to be recognised by the BIID, a reflection of our commitment to quality, professionalism and supporting the UK design industry.

Explore a curated line-up of respected UK and international suppliers showcasing their newest collections. Each stand is brimming with colour, texture, inspiration and practical solutions for real projects.

Discuss pricing, view samples, ask questions and build genuine relationships with the teams behind the brands.

Join us on Day One, from 3.00pm to 5.00pm, as we come together to celebrate 10 years of Design Central. A few special moments are in the works... more to be revealed soon.

Talk Space returns with an engaging line-up of speakers and industry insight sessions. For 2026, expect a stronger focus on both creative and business development topics, supported by our collaboration with Larsen Architecture.

Designers are welcome to attend with their clients and walk the show together for real-time decision making.

**Interior professionals must register their client ticket at the time of registration. Clients can only enter the show as a guest of a registered design professional.

Come rain or shine, all exhibitor showcases, marquees and Talk Space sessions are conveniently located in one place. Free parking is available on site.

Every attendee receives a beautifully printed showguide featuring all exhibitors and useful information to support your visit.

Enjoy freshly prepared lunches, artisan bakes, sweet treats and refreshments.

Capesthorne Hall provides a beautiful backdrop for the event. From its historic interiors to the surrounding parkland, inspiration is everywhere.
