Inchbald Open Day

Join us for an Open Day at Inchbald for a glimpse of student life. Each session starts with a welcome from our Directors, Alan and Andrew, who will share insights into our approach and how we’ve influenced top designers worldwide. Enjoy tea, biscuits, or a glass of wine at our 6 pm session, and meet our tutors and alumni. Faculty will be available to discuss courses and answer questions. The event concludes with a tour of our studios, where you’ll see current students at work. Whether you prefer in-house or online study, part-time or full-time, discover why Inchbald is a top choice for design. Sessions are on Thursday, June 12 at 10 am, 2 pm, and 6 pm. Booking required, limited spaces available.

Annual Exhibition

The culmination of the Inchbald year is the Annual Exhibition, an opportunity for students to proudly showcase the extensive efforts of their studies. Next year's Exhibition will take place in July 2025. It is a valuable occasion for students to network and make connections within the design profession. There is no need to book, just come along.

Spring Lunch

Inchbald is deeply committed to maintaining its excellent links and relationship with the professional design world, which is what makes Inchbald a powerhouse of design education. The Spring lunch is a networking opportunity for current students to forge connections with luminaries of the garden and interior design professions. Hosted by the Dean, students, alumni, studio owners and media come together to pool ideas and connections and strengthen the bridge between education and career.
