A CELEBRATION OF CREATIVITY!
LEARN SOMETHING NEW
Featuring a Careers Fair for those starting out on their journey, alongside keynote talks from creative legends and expert-led panel discussions looking at the issues affecting the industry today, this is one event you can’t afford to miss, whichever stage of your creative career you’re in. You’re never too old to learn something new.
THIS IS NOT JUST ANOTHER CONFERENCE
WELCOME TO DREAMLAND
A festival in a fairground. An awards ceremony on a dodgems track. Hangouts on the beach. We do things different.
WHO ARE WE?
After years working with incredibly talented people and being part of some truly inspiring creative journeys, we started to notice something was missing..
THERE WASN'T A HOME FOR PEOPLE TO RECOGNISE HOW IMPORTANT THE UK CREATIVE SECTOR IS.
The creative industries shape everything we see read and feel about ourselves as a society. For decades they've been a vehicle for social progress and given a voice to the ordinary people of Britain.
However, support for the next generation and inspiration for the present has been declining. There wasn’t anywhere that brought the most influential creatives from all industries together to discuss and learn from each other.
And there are fewer opportunities for young people to find their path into creative work, especially creatives from underrepresented backgrounds.
SO, WE MADE A HOME FOR IT.
CREATIVE INDUSTRIES ATTENDING
Here are some of the industries attending this years event.

LET’S SUPERCHARGE THE UK’S CREATIVE INDUSTRIES.
Buying a ticket for the festival supports the next generation of talent. The UK Creative Festival donates profits to The Creative Foundation, to go into building our shared goal of ensuring the Creative sector is a more diverse industry going forward.
WE BELIEVE THAT CREATIVITY AND INNOVATIVE THINKING ARE THE FOUNDATIONS OF SUCCESS
The UK Creative Festival looks to supercharge the UK's creative industries. Be part of a network that inspires ideas-led thinking to foster a culture of daring creativity - for now and for the future. At the heart of the festival is our free-to-attend Careers Fair, led by The Creative Foundation. This is where we engage with young creatives, enabling them to understand the opportunities and pathways available to them.
