This year’s festival is supported by new local sponsor Mistal Kitchen and Chilli Barn, a popular Chevin-based venue known for its events, weddings, and excellent coffee.
The exhibition spaces filled quickly, with returning favourites Casa Coffee Roasters, North Star, Rounton, Harmony, and Dark Woods joined by Echelon and Malawian Coffee. Coffee Care will also be back, all representing a strong Yorkshire contingent with a shared focus on quality and sustainability.
Alongside the coffee, the popular creatives’ exhibition returns, showcasing a range of local talent including Chilli Glass, Nina Wright Ceramics, Print and Hues, Jeanne-Louise Art, and Martha Taylor, with additional makers travelling in from further afield.
Visitors can also enjoy a full programme of talks and live music throughout the day, as well as food and cakes — a new addition this year following feedback from previous festivals.
Despite the quality on show, the festival remains deliberately accessible. Advance tickets are priced at £6.50 with limited on-the-door entry at £7.
As a not-for-profit event run entirely by volunteers, all surplus funds raised go to charity — giving visitors even more reason to indulge in a second (or third) cup.
Tickets are available via Eventbrite or at www.otleycoffeeculture.co.uk
