March 2025Great afternoon spent browsing. Ran out of steam unfortunately but managed to get some lovely summer cotton fabric, plus some helpful advice from the gentleman on Juki stand. Parking was easy and right next door so all in all a winner.

March 2025Great venue for a small trade show. Central location and good facilities. If you have specific dietary requirements you might want to take food with you as food facilities are limited but for those who don't, Jack's cafe provided a very good hot lunch and lovely looking cold ones!

February 2025I’ve been visiting the Business Design Centre for many years, and it’s always a great experience. There’s a consistently impressive range of shows, design brands and local businesses within the building itself. The team is incredibly friendly, always willing to help, and the accessibility is excellent, with the added bonus of being just a short walk from Angel tube station. Food and drink gets top marks too!
