Dubai Home Festival 2026: Final Weekend Deals, Events and Prizes

If your sofa has seen better days or the spare room is still waiting for its moment, consider this your nudge. The eighth edition of Dubai Home Festival closes on 1 November. Its final weekend feels less like a clearance sale and more like a celebration of what it means to make this city home.

The finale falls on World Cities Day (31 October), and the festival’s Make Dubai Home theme makes the most of it, with events that go well beyond the showroom floor. At Alserkal Avenue, What The Food brings together the city’s chefs, growers and storytellers for masterclasses, film screenings and a hands-on potsticker workshop with Chef Kelvin Cheung, plus a keynote from Aline Kamakian. At Dubai Festival Plaza, Build Your Home in Dubai has workshops, live demonstrations and expert talks for anyone who wants their space to work harder.

For design lovers, the most tempting date in the diary may be Custom No.9’s first sample sale in years. The homegrown furniture brand is holding it with Heveya on 30 and 31 October. Expect up to 80 per cent off around 146 Dubai-designed pieces, from prototypes to one-offs, along with ceramics from local makers Cole and Cinder and Sloo Studio.

Elsewhere, the offers are generous. Chattels & More has 40 per cent off everything and United Furniture is cutting prices by up to 80 per cent. Retailers from H&M Home to Lakeland are offering between 25 and 75 per cent off across the city. If you’d like a second opinion, Crate & Barrel’s free Design Desk offers one-to-one sessions with its interior designers.

There’s still time to win, too. Spend AED 500 at participating retailers to enter a draw for an AED 200,000 home makeover. If you’re buying your first home, register for the First-Time Home Buyer Programme before 1 November for a chance to win a AED 100,000 makeover, with no purchase required.
