Shining the spotlight on North East design...
Welcome! Tyne Design Week is a new celebration of creativity, innovation and design taking place across the North East from 23rd to 27th June 2025.
Tyne Design Week is delivered by Edge Innovation, in partnership with the North East Combined Authority, Northumbria University and Newcastle University, alongside a wide range of collaborators helping us create a dynamic, immersive programme that reflects the wealth of ingenuity and talent available in the region.
Join workshops that foster cross-disciplinary collaboration, get a look behind the scenes by attending an open studio session or be inspired by seminars showcasing the impact of creative practice. We’re inviting design thinkers, practitioners, businesses, educators, students and communities to take part in shaping a vibrant and inclusive design future. There’s something for everyone and we’d love for you to get involved.
