The Coffee House Project is Bristol’s first coffee festival and it's now in its third year. It has seen over 2,000 visitors walk through the doors, as well as winning ‘Best Event’ category in the Crumbs Awards 2019. The festival involves 50 exhibitors, workshops and talks, a two-day barista competition hosted by the SCA UK, plus gourmet street food and DJ's. The first year attracted over 1,200 guests with headline sponsors including Oatly, La Marzocco & Tia Maria with the second year seeing a 40% increase of visitor numbers and bringing on board the following sponsors: La Marzocco, Oatly, KeepCup and DR Wakefield. I co - created this festival in 2018 which took courage, enthusiasm, a business mind and a leap of faith.
