PRDD is delighted to announce the launch of Manufactory, a new festival for interdisciplinary art and culture taking place across Park Royal, north-west London, on 11–12 September 2026.
Reserve your free ticket here. Festival passes can be collected from the ticket portal at North Acton Square across both festival days and include a complimentary goodie bag.
Presented through exhibitions, installations, site-specific interventions, performances, food, open studios, talks, workshops and participatory events, Manufactory invites audiences into the hidden spaces of production that shape the city. Unfolding across workshops, warehouses, studios and industrial sites, the festival opens up environments that are rarely accessible to the public, foregrounding Park Royal as a distinctive destination for contemporary interdisciplinary practice.
Created by Park Royal Design District, Manufactory builds on five years of participation in London Design Festival as its largest Design District, while expanding through new collaborations with ArtReview, Central Saint Martins and others. The inaugural edition is curated by newly appointed Programme Director Mazzy-Mae Green, and centres interdisciplinary practices shaped by production, material experimentation and the social conditions of the industrial landscape.
Early programme highlights include presentations, performances and new commissions by Jermaine Francis, Abbas Zahedi, Lucy Algar and Chihiro Kawasaki, Linn Phyllis Seeger, and Dan Mauz and Esther Kehinde Ajayi, alongside site-specific exhibitions curated by Mazzy-Mae Green and Harlesden High Street. The full programme will be released towards the end of June.
