Suffolk Design
Festival 2026

The Suffolk Design Festival returns on 24 September 2026 for a day of ideas, and practical debate bout the future of our neighbourhoods, towns and communities.

Bringing together local authorities, developers, architects, planners, landscape architects, housing providers and government representatives, the Festival will explore how we create places that are not only beautiful, but deliverable, sustainable and inclusive.

Set within Suffolk, but tackling issues faced across the country, the Festival provides a unique opportunity to hear from leading voices shaping the future of placemaking, housing delivery and community building.
