The unique industrial landscape of Park Royal has inspired a particularly eclectic mix of disciplines, many finding inspiration from reclaimed materials and repurposed offcuts from their industrial neighbours.

At the festival, visitors can explore these recurring themes of circularity and resourcefulness, combined with high-tech innovation in ceramics, leatherwork, sculpture, millinery, furniture, design, and fashion.
