Gather – Turn Up For The Books

Date: 10/04/25 Place: The Crossing Time: 18.00pm

Birmingham Design Festival presents Gather –

In this crazy mixed-up world, there’s one thing that almost all of us can agree on: Books are awesome. Thin slices of trees that can transport us to other places, open our minds, challenge us, inspire us, and so much more.

In fact we love books so much we opened a bookshop! So it was an easy decision to focus on the wild and wonderful world of publishing, and more specifically, designers who have made books, for this Gather.

We’re delighted to welcome four diverse voices to Brum – all with brilliant books under their belts – and unique viewpoints on publishing and life. With open minds and a warm welcome, we invite you to turn up for the books!

If the talks weren’t enough to entice you along, there’ll also be the usual delicious street food, and the Birmingham Design Shop will be on site supplying all your creative needs (including books by our speakers) – so grab your ticket(s) and prep your ears!
