CAFFEINE overload? Manchester Coffee Festival this weekend (November 4 and 5) promises to be the biggest celebration of coffee in the North.
Formerly Cup North, the festival will pack Victoria Warehouse. with independent coffee shops, roasteries, importers and baristas from across the region and coffee beans from across the globe for a weekend of talks, tastings and even a coffee-themed cinema.
Expect to encounter the finest coffee around from operators such as Ancoats Coffee Co, Brewed by Hand, Heart and Graft, North Star, Steampunk and many more. For a full line-up click here.
Organiser Hannah Davies said: “2016 has seen Cup North add a few extra strings to our bow with the Northern Barista Club, coffee training, curating the coffee area at Spin Festival and a pop-up coffee cart, which means that we want to ensure that our main event doesn’t get lost in all the action. This new name will also encourage consumers outside of the speciality industry to attend and engage with the event.”
