Autumn Events - Papersmiths 2026
This autumn, Papersmiths is hosting a series of in-store events across our Chelsea and Brighton stores - from hands-on workshops and exclusive pop-ups to special meet-and-greets with brands we love. Expect limited-edition products, interactive experiences, and a few surprises along the way. Scroll down to see what's on and find your nearest store.
31st Aug - 13th Sept. Brighton + Chelsea Stores
Intelligent Change Pop-up
31st August – 13th September | Brighton & Chelsea
Back for its third year, this pop-up features exclusive new products available only for the event.
Meet & Greet with Mimi Ikonn
12th September | Chelsea only
As part of the pop-up, co-founder Mimi Ikonn will be in-store for a special meet and greet. This draws a big crowd, so please expect a queue.
The Stoic Journal reflection box (Chelsea only)
Throughout the pop-up, customers are invited to write an anonymous reflection, piece of advice, or encouraging thought inspired by the Stoic Journal, then seal it in an envelope and place it in the box.
During the meet-and-greet, customers can pick an envelope from the box in return. A few lucky people will also find a journal or Papersmiths pen included as a surprise prize.
1st - 20th October - Chelsea Store
Kaweco Sport Event
The Kaweco DIY Sport is a hands-on experience built around the iconic Kaweco Sport fountain pen.
Instead of buying a pre-assembled pen, you'll receive all the individual parts and build your own, guided by a specialised assembly press. Watch your pen come together piece by piece for a unique look into Kaweco's craftsmanship - and leave with a custom-built fountain pen made by your own hands.
Choose from 3 exclusive, limited-edition colours.
