Over 40 coffee brands are setting up inside a 500-year-old church for one day, which is either an act of devotion or just further proof that caffeine has replaced religion for most of us.

Roasters, machine makers and the people behind your oat milk opinions will all be there, plus Barista Champions ready to show you what latte art looks like done well.

Over 1,000 people are expected, so get there early if you want room to stand.

HOUSE OF THE WEEK

💰 - £795,000

Bedroom four is currently a dressing room, the most honest thing anyone has ever done with a spare room. The family bathroom has a jacuzzi-style bath, so good luck getting anyone out before Sunday lunch.

The garden wraps round the corner plot with a patio for every time of day, and electric gates open onto a private drive. Wollaton Park is on the doorstep, so your morning walk comes with deer. Ours comes with a man in slippers.
