CupNorth 2016 gathers a broad range of coffee businesses under one roof to showcase exactly what they do on a daily basis to you, the inquisitive public. A vast majority of the companies involved are coffee roasters who don’t often get the chance to face the public in this way – Manchester Coffee Festival gives them the opportunity to engage with consumers who visit the festival. Festival goers will leave the event feeling educated and informed on coffee thanks to the provided program of coffee tastings; workshops; visitors will have a chance to brew with the pro’s; observe the finals of national coffee competitions and sample all the espresso they can handle!

For those less interested in coffee or perhaps those who don’t get along too well with caffeine, Cup North brings a handful of tea traders signed up for the festival alongside artisan chocolate suppliers and a chai tea specialist! The organisers also made sure that visitors don’t go hungry with a range of local food traders on hand throughout.

Manchester Coffee Festival 2016 takes place from 5-6 November at Victoria Warehouse – a beautiful old Manchester building that we’re very happy to be returning to for a second consecutive year. It’s also important to know that families are most welcome to the event where there is something to do for everyone.
