London Coffee Festival

I’m sorry if I’ve missed a thread about this. Is anyone going? I know there are mixed views about it, it’s busy, overheated, noisy and impossible to find your way around but I enjoy it, especially the conversations. I am going on Friday.

Good call Phil. I just bought tickets for Sunday morning. This will be my first time going, and I am hoping that early on a Sunday will be relatively quiet.

For others interested, here’s a link to the main website:

Tickets are 20% off when bought online. £24 for standard admission.

I heard about this through a chocolate company ‘Bare Bones’; who are going to be serving hot chocolate and selling chocolate bars. So, there will be at least that for non-coffee-drinking family members.

Some roasters promote it with a code although the discount is probably the same. A half-day can be a challenge. If possible arrive in good time to get it when it opens and work out where the things are you want to visit before it gets too crowded. Once it’s crowded, it’s harder to see where some stands are. I started with a half-day and thereafter went for a whole day to pace it better. I hope you have a great time. The bookable experiences are often a bonus - although they’re all booked up for Sunday morning. I’m going to one on Friday that showcases the new harvest from Central America.
