    About From Behind Closed Doors

    A celebration of creative industries in Winchester

    This April, Winchester will throw open its doors for an extraordinary pilot event, From Behind Closed Doors. This festival is a vibrant showcase of our creative industries, timed to coincide with World Design Day on 27 April, this your chance to experience the talent that usually works quietly behind the scenes.


    What’s on?

    Expect a curated exhibition of Winchester’s top creative agencies and an open studios programme where designers, architects, marketers, and digital innovators invite you inside their spaces.


    Why join?

    This is more than an exhibition, it’s building a network, a bridge between education and industry, and a spotlight on the diversity and excellence of Winchester’s creative sector. Whether you’re a studio, a student, an investor, or simply curious, this is your opportunity to connect, collaborate, and celebrate creativity. We would love to have you on board! Express your interest here.
