The new trailer, affectionately named BABS (Brewing Amazing Brews & Smiles), will be serving visitors outside ICC Belfast from 2nd–9th August, bringing Barista Bar's award-winning coffee experience directly to one of Europe's largest cultural celebrations.

The brand has invested €50,000 into the brand-new trailer. BABS is the first of three coffee trailers which will be unveiled across the UK in the near future.

Visitors will be able to enjoy an extensive menu of premium hot and iced coffees, refreshing iced drinks, creamy milkshakes, matcha, chai, decaf and oat milk alternatives, ensuring there's something for everyone throughout the week.

To celebrate the launch, the first 30 customers on Sunday 2nd August will receive a complimentary Barista Bar goody bag. The Barista Bar mascot will also be making special appearances, while local influencer Clara Deehan will be hosting games, giveaways and

interactive challenges throughout the event.

The brand is widely available across more than 470 SPAR, EUROSPAR and ViVO stores in Northern Ireland and over 670 locations in total across the UK having celebrated its 10th anniversary last year.
