Event Info

  • The Manchester Coffee Festival will return in 2024, make sure to sign up to our newsletter for all the exciting updates!

  • Manchester Coffee Festival is an accessible event for people who love coffee! There are some activities for people who work in the coffee industry but the main focus is on sharing the value of specialty coffee with our audience of coffee consumers.

    Activities for coffee consumers range from sampling coffee, tasting unique flavours from around the world at the tasting room, attending talks and panels to learn the latest trends, participating in workshops for new coffee skills, interacting with baristas and roasters at a brand new competition and chatting with the pro’s.

    We have also prepared a LGBTQ+ friendly family program for coffee parents to enjoy with their children on Sunday morning. We have also designed a treasure hunt game for children to learn about coffee while parents enjoying their delicious brew in peace. Just ask our crew for the treasure hunt map at the entrance!

Thanks To Our Partners

2023 Community Partners 

Cup North is proud to work with different charity organisations who share our ambition to make a positive contribution towards specialty coffee communities and the communities local to our events. In 2023, we partnered with Farmers Voice Radio to support them in their mission to transform the lives of millions of farmers and rural communities through the power of radio, and with The Proud Trust, an incredible charity dedicated to empowering LGBT+ youth across Greater Manchester and Cheshire, to build a more diverse and inclusive event for our local community. By working with our community partners, we hope to help make a real difference in the world of specialty coffee.

Thanks to everyone support, we raised a total of Β£1,888 for our community partners through ticket sales and direct donations.
