If you missed us in London, now's your chance... 

We had a pretty good feeling about Grand Designs Live 2026. Turns out, furnishing the Grand House at ExCeL London as Official House Furniture Partner was just the beginning. Now, we’ve set our sights on Birmingham. 

Tickets are available now - and if Kevin McCloud walking past your favourite Cult pieces isn't reason enough, the talks, the installations, and the sheer density of good design under one roof absolutely are.

Grand Designs Live lands at the NEC from 2-4 October 2026. And check out exclusive behind-the-scenes photos from Grand Designs Live London below to whet your appetite.

Why We Keep Showing Up...

Grand Designs Live has always been a celebration of creativity, individuality, and smart design - values that couldn't be closer to Cult's heart. When we furnished the Grand House in London, we brought bold shapes and design-led style. Birmingham gets the same treatment.

What Is Grand Designs Live?

We’ve watched Kevin McCloud stand in rain-soaked fields, surveying over-budget projects for three decades - it never gets old - and why? Because Grand Designs champions the idea that homes should be extraordinary, individual, and built with genuine intention.

Channel 4’s Grand Designs has become one of the UK’s most beloved design institutions, giving us a peek behind the doors of the country’s most impressive homes. We met with Zara and Giuliano - proud owners of The Foxes Maltings - ourselves to go beyond the screen. It did NOT disappoint. 

Grand Designs Live is that same energy, live and in person. Talks and panels covering interiors, architecture, self-build and sustainability. Expert advice hubs with one-to-one guidance from industry professionals. Exhibitor stands showcasing the latest in furniture, materials and home innovation. Thousands of people who take design seriously, all in one place. Our kind of crowd.
