Belfast Design Week Fringe Event Application

Belfast Design Week is a collaborative festival which aims to reflect the design industry in all its diversity. It depends on the energy, creativity and support of industry contributors to bring the programme to life. If you work in design or in a related field and would like to show your support and get involved please check out our FAQS and fill out our fringe application form below. 

FAQS

What are the dates for Belfast Design Week?

Belfast Design Week 2026 will be from 1st - 7th May. Your event must fall within these dates.

What support is available for Fringe Contributors?

We will provide all Fringe Contributors with festival artwork and branding templates, we will share all events on our website, newsletter and social media. We would ask that where possible Fringe Contributors tag us on social media posts and add Belfast Design Week as collaborators on Instagram to make sharing of content easy and effective. Unfortunately at this stage Belfast Design Week doesn’t receive core funding so we are unable to provide financial support for 2026 fringe events, but do reach out if you like to run an event and require support in another way (venues, speakers, facilitators etc) and we will do our best to help.
