We’ve got a busy few months ahead. The Beanworks team is packing up the van and hitting the road to bring our coffee to new faces (and old friends) across four shows this autumn. Here’s where you can find us.
Glee, NEC Birmingham (8–10 September)
Kicking things off next week is Glee, the UK’s leading garden retail trade show, now well into its fifth decade at the NEC. It might not sound like classic coffee territory. Still, garden centres up and down the country run some of the best cafés in Britain — and we’ll be there to meet buyers looking to bring exceptional everyday coffee to their visitors. If you run a garden centre café, come and taste what we can do for your counter.
Nottingham Coffee Festival (Saturday 17 October)
A firm favourite on the East Midlands coffee calendar, Nottingham Coffee Festival returns for its fifth year at the beautiful St Mary’s Church on High Pavement. Expect 40-plus independent coffee businesses under one roof, live brewing demos, and plenty of chances to taste your way around the UK’s speciality scene. We’ll have our full seasonal line-up on the table.
Farm Business Innovation Show, NEC Birmingham (4–5 November)
Back at the NEC just a few weeks after Glee, Farm Business Innovation Show is the UK’s biggest event for farm diversification, running alongside Leisure Food & Beverage Expo as part of the “Great Taste of the Country” zone.
Oxford Coffee Festival (Saturday 14 November)
We’ll close out the season at Oxford Coffee Festival, the celebration of the city’s coffee scene that’s fast becoming a calendar highlight. Expect latte art, tastings, and a proper showcase of everything that makes Oxford’s coffee community special.
Come and say hello!
Four shows, four very different crowds, one shared goal: putting great coffee in front of great people. Keep an eye on our Instagram and newsletter over the coming weeks for stand numbers and any last-minute details – we’d love to see you there.
