LONDON TEXTILE MONTH 2025

View the Map and Calendar of Events HERE
London Textile Month is a city-wide festival celebrating cloth, culture, and creativity. Curated by Selvedge magazine, this inaugural edition brings together artists, makers, brands, and institutions for a month of workshops, exhibitions, talks, and open studios – spotlighting textiles' diverse voices, experiences, and products that enrich all our lives.
We aim to connect textile enthusiasts with makers, museums, and galleries from across the interiors and fashion industries, as well as around the globe. Since Selvedge began hosting events in 2010, we have welcomed visitors to a wide range of experiences, including fairs, screenings, Q&A sessions, and symposia. London Textile Month represents the culmination of these experiences. It offers an opportunity to work with all our partners, to reach new audiences and raise awareness of the richness of global textile culture within London.
If you would like to host an event in 2026, email partnerships@selvedge.org to find out more. For more details, read our partnership pack HERE.
