The London Design Festival was established in 2003 as an annual event to celebrate and promote as the creative capital of the world and gateway to the UK’s world class design community. The Festival acts as a platform for partner organisations drawn from across the design community to stage the UK's biggest annual design event. The Festival also commissions its own projects. The Festival runs for nine days in September. Festival audiences are significant, with an estimated audience of over 350,000 people in 2012, from over 60 countries with a wider audience of over 1m people coming into contact with the major public commissions in 2012. The Festival had a programme of 304 projects and events staged by 295 partner organisations including media partners. The Festival also attracts substantial press coverage, with 1,969 articles about the Festival appearing worldwide. The London Design Festival produces a Guide every year, containing information about activity. This is distributed across London in September. Many of the events at the design festival are free to attend. == London Design Festival at the V&A == Since 2009, the London Design Festival has taken up residence within the Victoria and Albert museum. Annually, the V&A sets aside the newly opened Sackler Centre and other areas of the museum for Festival events, shows, talks and installations. In 2012, audiences at the V&A totaled 111,538 – which is the highest ten-day figure recorded in the museum’s history.
