London Coffee Festival Returns With 275 Brands at The Truman Brewery
London Coffee Festival returns to The Truman Brewery from 14 to 17 May 2026, with more than 275 artisan coffee and gourmet food brands inside the venue. The london coffee festival is expected to top last year’s crowd and exhibitor count, adding pressure to a format that already pulled in 22,000 visitors and 260 exhibitors.

More than 275 brands will be on site, alongside street food vendors, cocktail bars, workshops and live demos. Coffee Masters and Latte Art Live are both set to return, keeping the festival split between consumer appeal and the trade-facing programming that has become part of its draw.
The Roasters Village will again put independent coffee roasters in front of visitors, with beans, brewing methods and stories from around the world in one place. Brew School and The Lab will host workshops and talks on home brewing techniques and wider industry trends, giving the event more than a retail floor and a stage.
Trade days and public access
Thursday and Friday are reserved for hospitality professionals, while the weekend opens to the general public. That schedule keeps the first two days focused on business-to-business traffic before the broader audience arrives, a setup that has helped the festival serve both sides of the coffee market without splitting the event into separate formats.
Tickets start from £39.90, and entry includes access to major live events and experiences, tastings, demos and samples throughout the festival. For visitors deciding whether to go, the practical pitch is straightforward: three days of public access, two trade days before that, and enough included programming to make the entry price do more than buy a walk-through.

The bigger test in 2026 is whether the event can move beyond last year’s 22,000 visitors and 260 exhibitors without losing the mix that made it work. The return to The Truman Brewery suggests the organizers are leaning into scale, but the real measure will be whether those added brands and sessions turn into longer stays, more sampling and a busier trade floor.
