Newcastle hosts Design Event Festival

People staying in city centre accommodation in Newcastle will have the annual Design Event Festival on their doorstep as it returns to the capital of the north-east once again this October.

A week of exhibitions, workshops and talks at venues around the city will convene under the theme of 'happiness', with the organisers promising that this year's festival will be the most diverse and interesting yet.

The event preview will take place at the iconic BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art on Thursday October 13th from 6pm, before the festival events kick-off the following day.

The BALTIC, set to host this year's Turner Prize, is the major venue for the Design Event, showcasing a host of exhibitions on its first floor gallery.

'Design Event MART' will make the works of designers and artists from around the north of England available to buy while the 'Design Event Presents' exhibition will bring a new collection of pieces specially commissioned for the festival.

Other exhilarating exhibitions will be held both at the BALTIC and elsewhere. For more details visit the Design Event Festival website.

The Design Event runs from October 14th to 18th.
