The global bar and beverage industry is marking its calendars as BCB, the world-renowned trade show, prepares to launch its first-ever London edition.
Taking place from 30 June to 1 July 2025, this exciting event will be held at the iconic Tobacco Dock in East London, solidifying the UK’s role as a pivotal hub for the bar and drinks industry.
A prestigious venue for a premier event
Tobacco Dock, with its Grade 1 listed industrial charm and prime location in East London, offers the perfect backdrop for BCB London. Easily accessible by public transport and nestled in the heart of London’s thriving enterprise zone, it will provide attendees not only a remarkable event experience but also easy access to explore the city’s vibrant bar scene.
This historic venue aligns beautifully with the unique and creative essence BCB has come to represent globally.
Expanding a respected legacy
BCB is celebrated as one of the top trade fair brands in the bar and beverage industry. Known for its success in Berlin, it has expanded in recent years to Brooklyn, Singapore and São Paulo, consistently delivering quality, innovation, and unmatched networking opportunities.
The London debut marks a key moment in its evolution, offering the British and Irish bar community an event tailored to their markets.
Building momentum with the BCB London Roadshow
Ahead of BCB London’s main event, the BCB London Roadshow brought the excitement and educational calibre of the fair to cities across the UK and Ireland earlier this year.
Stopping in Manchester, Edinburgh, Birmingham, Cardiff, Dublin and Belfast, the roadshow delivered exclusive events tailored to the hospitality community. The high-profile speakers and industry experts Anna Sebastian, Ian Burrell, Elliot Ball and Kevin Armstrong shared great insights.
Participating venues included notable names like Ego Death in Manchester, Panda and Sons in Edinburgh, Passing Fancies in Birmingham, Lab 22 in Cardiff, Zozimus in Dublin, and Rattlebag in Belfast, offering attendees a glimpse of the expertise that will take centre stage at BCB London.
A new era for the bar scene of the UK and Ireland
Excitement is already building as the countdown to BCB London begins. Organisers promise to reveal further details in the coming weeks, including exhibitor line-ups and special event features.
With its blend of heritage, innovation, and inclusivity, BCB London aims to set a new benchmark for trade fairs in the region, offering an unparalleled platform for networking, business, and celebrating the art of mixology.
