The Springtime Sessions 2026
Join us for three inspiring days of design at the Chelsea Design Quarter (CDQ) Springtime Sessions. Taking place from 28th –30th April, the programme includes 14 engaging events across the three days.
The CDQ members have curated an exciting series of events which bring together leading designers, makers, and industry voices. Expect a vibrant mix of hands-on workshops, practical demonstrations, thought-provoking talks, and engaging panel discussions designed to spark ideas and share knowledge.
The events are created with Interior Designers in mind – offering the opportunity to gain insight from leading voices in the industry, connect with fellow creatives and learn more about specialist techniques and crafts. The 14 events are arranged to allow those attending to go to more than one event over the course of a day.
CDQ will once again be raising funds for the charity Furnishing Futures, with events requiring a donation to attend. As many of you know Furnishing Futures supports survivors of domestic abuse who have been placed into empty social housing. The charity creates professionally designed trauma-informed homes with good quality furniture and appliances donated by industry partners. Despite being in new condition, the donated items would often have ended up in landfill, thus becoming part of a circular economy which benefits the environment and families in need.
Please scroll down for the timetable and further down for direct links to book individual events. Please note that spaces are limited and events are expected to fill quickly.
