What is Clerkenwales?
More than an exhibition, ClerkenWales creates a live, pop up workplace that is open to all to use over two days. A unique, collaborative networking and product showcase event that brings together the local design, creative and construction community.
The event is a platform for these communities to meet with manufacturers, get hands on with the latest products, attend educational talks and CPD seminars, take part in creative workshops and engage with each other in an informal setting.
ClerkenWales offers an opportunity to see and try products first hand, increase industry knowledge and network all in one location, leaving those who attend inspired, educated and better informed.
Who will be showcasing their products and attending the event?
Representatives from some of the industry’s leading manufacturers in furniture, flooring, ceramics, textiles, wall coverings and lighting will be in attendance across both days to meet with attendees and showcase their latest products. No appointments are required, but if there’s a specific time that you’d like to attend then please get in touch.
