Sheffield Coffee Festival is back for its fourth year and it is bigger and more sustainable than ever before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This time, they have collaborated with Nottingham Coffee Festival to bring the events together and to allow attendees to get a change of environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The multi-venue celebration, happening on the weekend beginning June 1st, sheds light on Sheffield’s independent cafes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The initial reason for the festival was to help independent and family-owned shops to build their businesses back up after the pandemic, ensuring that these local gems get the recognition they deserve as this is what makes the local coffee scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Due its growing popularity, it has become a yearly annual event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not all partaking businesses have been affected by the pandemic, but they have seen a positive flow of customers coming to their shops for a cup of coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Matt Lucas, 49, the co-owner of Chapter One Coffee, says: \u201cI know of many businesses who have been struggling after the pandemic. This has helped them back on their feet so I would say it\u2019s encouraged to join as an independent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
