This coffee events calendar lists confirmed UK festivals and selected international trade shows, with dates checked against organisers’ official websites on 2 November 2026.

Coffee Industry Events Calendar
Use this page to find an event, identify whether it suits public visitors or industry professionals, and reach the official organiser’s information through the Sources below. It is a selected calendar, not an exhaustive directory of local tastings, training sessions or competitions.
Confirmed means the organiser had published dates when checked. It does not guarantee that an event, venue or programme will remain unchanged. Expected annual recurrences are not treated as confirmed events, and previous editions’ opening hours are not carried forward.
How often is the calendar updated?
This edition was verified on 2 November 2026. It is a dated editorial snapshot, not a live event feed. No fixed future checking interval or automatic removal system has yet been confirmed for this page.
The maintenance standard is to recheck listings monthly, and again shortly before each event. Once the site owner has approved that schedule, it should appear here as a firm update commitment.
If an organiser announces a cancellation, the listing should be marked Cancelled and removed from the upcoming selection. Postponed events should show Postponed, replacement dates unconfirmed until the organiser publishes new dates. Expired events should move to an archive rather than silently becoming listings for the following year.

Manchester Coffee Festival
Manchester’s festival combines coffee exhibitors with talks, tastings and competitions. The organiser identifies Friday 20 November as an industry and trade-only session, followed by the public weekend.
Choose your session before arranging travel. A festival’s overall date range does not mean every visitor can attend every day.
The London Coffee Festival
The organiser confirms two industry days followed by a public weekend. For the announced 2027 dates, that means industry access on 13 and 14 May, with public days on 15 and 16 May.
The visiting page still displays some session times explicitly labelled 2026. Those are not verified opening hours for 2027, so this calendar deliberately leaves them out.
Coffee Trade Shows and Expos
For workplace buyers, the useful distinction is not simply between a large and small event. Start with your purpose: tasting coffee, meeting suppliers, examining equipment or attending professional education.
World of Coffee Dubai
DXB LIVE, working with the Specialty Coffee Association, has announced World of Coffee Dubai for 26 to 28 January 2027 at Dubai World Trade Centre. It is a trade-focused option for readers looking beyond UK festivals.
Check the current exhibitor list and visitor eligibility before planning a supplier visit. An event listing alone does not establish that a particular office machine or service provider will be present.
World of Coffee Lisbon
The official World of Coffee calendar confirms Lisbon for 17 to 19 June 2027. The event website presents professional features including workshops, lectures, cupping rooms and producer and roaster areas.
For an office equipment visit, prepare questions about daily demand, milk-system cleaning, water treatment, installation and service coverage. Arrange demonstrations directly with exhibitors and request itemised written quotations afterwards.
Before attending any event in this coffee events calendar, confirm your session, entry requirements, accessibility arrangements and any separately booked activities with the organiser.
