Manchester Coffee Festival is the North's biggest coffee party, bringing together an eclectic mix of the best speciality coffee and hospitality brands. Mixed in with this, there are live competitions, talks and panel discussions, and live DJs.

Manchester Coffee Festival is taking place on Friday 20th to Sunday 22nd November 2026 at Bowlers Exhibition Centre. Please click here for more venue information

There is limited on site parking at Bowlers Exhibition Centre which is dealt with by the site at a cost of £10 per day. For 2026, this will be operated by an ANPR and Pay By Phone system. You must pay for parking if parking on site and we can accept no liability for parking charges. For more information about travel and parking please click here.

Please note if you’re a Blue Badge holder, please request disabled parking with the parking attendant on arrival.

The venue is fully wheelchair accessible, with each arena having step free access. There is ramped access from the main coffee arena up to the toilets, including a dedicated disabled cubicle.

The Sunday PM session is generally slightly quieter, meaning walkways and feature areas are easier to access. We recommend those with accessibility needs book this session where possible.

Please note if you’re a Blue Badge holder, please request disabled parking with the parking attendant on arrival.
