All participants will be entered into a prize draw to win a voucher worth £100 for OpenTable.
About the Show
The Caffè Culture Show (#CaffeCulture2015) is the leading annual event for the UK café industry and takes place on 13-14 May at London Olympia. The national event brings together those sharing a passion for the business of coffee. 220+ suppliers from global brands to artisan producers showcase exciting new products while expert speakers from the speciality coffee world share knowledge and advice during live demonstrations, seminars and panel discussions. The show showcases artisan producers at the Independent Coffee Roasters’ Village (#ccroasters) and Artisan Food Market (#ccartisan), and talented baristas will compete in the UK leg of two global barista competitions (#CIGS2015#CupTasters2015). The inaugural Coffee Stop UK Awards (#coffeestopsuk), a public vote for the nation’s favourite independent coffee shops and cafés, will take place at the show on 13th May.
