Curated by ECHO
Echo x London Design Festival
For London Design Festival 2021, Echo are delighted to be curating a workshop tour of some of Park Royal’s most talented makers and designers. Hidden behind closed doors in London’s largest industrial estate you will find zine-writers, tailors, prosthetic-limb-makers, and much more through Echo’s eclectic line up.
Hosted over Friday 24th and Saturday 25th in the centre of Park Royal you can hop from workshop to workshop by booking tickets to suit your interests. All events are within walking distance of each other, and are running at reduced capacity due to Covid19 precautions, so make sure to book your tickets (see event descriptions below) to secure your place.
You are all invited to pop in to Echo’s open-studio in Excelsior Studios to meet the team, post an Echo listing on our physical marketplace, and trade Echoes with other festival participants. We also encourage everyone to come together on the Friday evening for our Echo Mixer social event, in partnership with A LOOK INTO; diversity-in-film champions.
Echo and LDF in partnership with OPDC.
