Camden Inspire is evolving…

20.09.2025

A message to our Camden Inspire family.

This year, our annual community festival, Camden Inspire, is being held in collaboration with the Camden Green Loop – a strategy for building a sustainable neighbourhood through community-led design.

We will still be celebrating Camden Town’s magical arts scene, but through an environmental lens. Join us for a climate festival of ideas, workshops, repair sessions, talks and exhibitions that challenge our throwaway culture and explore hopeful, practical ways to live more sustainably.

Why the Change?

Camden is changing. As the borough embraces pedestrianisation and a shift to net zero policies, it was the right time to use Inspire’s platform to celebrate the potential of art in meeting our climate change challenges. So we’ve scaled back production, paused the live music stages, instead creating space for meaningful conversations, new ideas, meking and learning.

At the heart of this year’s festival is UnBroken — an ambitious upcycling project where leading designers will transform discarded objects destined for landfill into unique, functional works of art. These one-of-a-kind pieces will be exhibited and auctioned alongside public workshops that share the skills and thinking behind circular design, as part of London Design Festival 2025.

SATURDAY 20TH SEPTEMBER

This year's festival will take place at our co-working hub Camden Collective, which will be transformed into an exhibition/makers space for the day! Hands-on workshops will be taking place throughout the day with the event culminating in a showstopping upcycled furniture exhibition and auction.
