Our Partners
Our coffee festivals wouldn't be the same without the contribution and support by our beloved partners each year. From milk to machines, and all things needed, our partners are the backbones of our festivals that bring the industry’s finest supplies our exhibitors could possibly need to showcase their products at our events.
In return, we share our digital platforms and coffee festivals to help our partners strengthen their brand awareness, develop trade relationships and boost their retail sales through exclusive marketing campaigns and festival perks.

Community Partners
As a leading coffee event company, Cup North is proud to work with different charity organisations who share our ambition to make a positive contribution towards specialty coffee communities and the communities local to our events. From supporting coffee farmers to helping transform their lives with the power of radio, to introducing more sustainable coffee events - we are committed to working with our community partners to help make a real difference in the world of specialty coffee.
6% of the festival ticket sales will be evenly donated to Cup North’s Community Partners at each event.
Farmers Voice Radio
After a successful partnership with Farmers Voice Radio at Manchester Coffee Festival 2022, we are glad to form a long term partnership with them in supporting their mission to transform the lives of millions of farmers and rural communities through the power of radio.
