When Design Central was created 10 years ago, it was built on a simple belief that 'design doesn't just exist in one place' – so why should great design events be any different?

Since then, we've welcomed thousands of interior designers, architects and specifiers to discover new suppliers, catch up with industry friends and enjoy a day (or two!) surrounded by design in the North West, all in the beautiful setting of Capesthorne Hall.

Whether you're planning your first visit or returning once again, here's a quick look at just some of the things waiting for you this September.

1. Easy to reach, with free parking included

No hunting for parking spaces or juggling different modes of transport. Just an easy journey, plenty of free parking and a relaxed start to your day.

2. A stunning country house setting you'll actually enjoy spending the day in

Capesthorne Hall is one of the things that makes Design Central North West so special. Beautiful surroundings, open space and a relaxed atmosphere truly make it somewhere you'll genuinely enjoy spending the day.

3. Fantastic exhibitors showcasing the latest collections

From furniture and fabrics to lighting, flooring, wallcoverings and accessories, you'll find an inspiring mix of brands ready to share their latest products, answer your questions and help with your current and upcoming projects.

4. Free business awareness sessions packed with practical ideas

Running a successful design business is about more than specifying beautiful interiors. Our free Business Awareness Sessions are designed to give you useful advice and fresh ideas you can take straight back to your business. Keep an eye out – this year's programme will be announced soon.

5. A free raffle with some fantastic prizes

Every visitor has the chance to enter our free raffle, with some brilliant prizes to be won across both days. A little extra excitement while you're enjoying the show!

6. Inspiring guests in the Talk Space

We're putting the finishing touches to this year's Talk Space programme and can't wait to share who's joining us. Expect plenty of interesting conversations, industry insight and ideas to implement in your business.

7. Watch the Interior Design Business Podcast being filmed live

New for our 10th anniversary, the Interior Design Business Podcast will be recording live across both days of the show. If you enjoy honest conversations about the industry, it's well worth signing up for.

8. Celebrate our 10th anniversary with our signature cocktail

A milestone like this deserves celebrating. Pop by The Prosecco Pot and enjoy our special anniversary cocktail while catching up with friends, colleagues and fellow designers.

9. Enjoy lunch overlooking the lake

Take a break from exploring the show and enjoy a delicious lunch in the Lakeside Suite while taking in the beautiful views across the grounds. Pause, recharge and plan where you're heading next.

10. Time well invested

Design Central North West isn't just about what you see during your visit, it's about what you take away afterwards. Whether you join us for one day or both, your time is an investment in your business, your creativity and your passion for great design, while spending time with people who simply 'get it'.

Join us this September

We can't quite believe Design Central is celebrating a decade of bringing the best of design to regional locations, and we'd love you to be part of it.

Whether you're coming to discover new suppliers, catch up with familiar faces, gain fresh ideas for your business or simply enjoy being surrounded by great design, we look forward to welcoming you to Capesthorne Hall on 22nd and 23rd September.
