About the Biennial
A month-long celebration dedicated to the art, innovation and heritage of jewellery.
Birmingham Jewellery Biennial is a major new festival taking place in May 2027 – a month-long celebration of jewellery, craftsmanship and contemporary design, set across the Jewellery Quarter and wider city of Birmingham.
Co-founded by the Jewellery Quarter Development Trust and Birmingham City University, the Biennial brings together makers, artists, collectors, students and visitors from across the UK and beyond – in the city that has been at the heart of British jewellery for centuries.
The programme is set to include everything from exhibitions and open studios to workshops and showstopping installations.
