THE Glasgow Coffee Festival is set to return to The Briggait this year, with an all-new format.
Organised by Dear Green Coffee Roasters, the two-day event will take place on May 2 and 3 and will showcase Scotland’s speciality coffee scene, with artisan roasters, cafes and baristas featuring throughout.
Demonstrations and masterclasses are to be expected through the weekend, along with a few surprises thrown in. Previous years have seen unexpected pop-up barbershops, cocktail classes and film premieres take place.
This year, the organisers will be introducing two sessions per day, giving coffee lovers the option of more budget-friendly ticket options and increased opportunity for attendance.
Event organiser Lisa Lawson said: “It’s all about making the Glasgow Coffee Festival more accessible. There’s a common preconception of ‘the coffee snob’, but the atmosphere here at the Glasgow Coffee Festival is anything but elitist.
“Everyone is welcome to join us, taste some amazing coffee and have fun.
“That’s why we decided to change up the format for 2020 and offer people the choice of either joining us in the morning or the afternoon (or both, of course!), therefore creating ticket options to suit all budgets.
“It’s Scotland’s biggest coffee party and we want as many people to enjoy it as possible.”
Early bird tickets are available on the festival’s website until Saturday, March 7.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
