Expressions of interest for the Dairy Road Design Weekend, on the 18th-19th of November, 2023, have now opened.

The EOI window closes on 8 September and all stalls will be notified by 12 September. This year, the Weekend is being curated by iconic Dairy Road tenant, Paul McInnes of the Modern Object, alongside the team at Dionysus. While a design market is the central focus of the weekend, this year it is expanding from what was the Dairy Road Design Market, into a curated weekend of design-related events and activities. Expert makers, collectors and stallholders will showcase their work amongst great company, and a great program of music, art, film, talks and exhibitions. This year we will not only include makers of smaller design objects, and open to designers of larger pieces to showcase and sell their work in an exciting indoor display warehouse (more information to come). To register your interest, please complete this form with as much detail as possible. A good variety of stall holders will be included, at various price points.
