Budding home improvers will have the chance to receive expert guidance and inspiration at Design and Build 2025, a free live event taking place on June 28 at The River & Rowing Museum, Henley-on-Thames.

Organised by a group of local design and build experts, the event brings together some of the region’s top professionals in interior design, architecture, furniture making, and construction. Attendees can enjoy free one-to-one consultations, offering personalised advice to help get their home projects off the ground—whether it’s a kitchen renovation, an extension, or a full interior refresh.

“Many homeowners don’t know where to begin when it comes to home improvements,” says interior designer Samantha Fleming. “It can be overwhelming, and the risk of making costly mistakes is high. This event aims to remove that uncertainty and give people the confidence to move forward with expert guidance.”
The expert panel includes:
• Interior Designers: Marina Hughes and Samantha Fleming
• Architects: Matthewson Walters Architects
• Furniture Makers: Mark Taylor Design
• Builders: JPT Builders

Design and Build 2025 is open to all, with the opportunity to pre-book private consultations via the event booking site. Whether you're planning your first renovation or refining an existing space, this event offers a unique opportunity to tap into professional knowledge—all free of charge.
