Book an event

Bring the van to your event.

Self-contained, quick to set up, and it turns a queue into a conversation. Festivals, weddings, corporate days, private parties and markets, mostly around Liverpool and Merseyside but the van travels: coffee, a live DJ set, or both.

  • Speciality coffee, served at volume
  • Coffee service, DJ set, or the two together
  • Liverpool, Merseyside, and further for the right job

What we cover

Every kind of event.

Festivals

Big crowds, long days, and a queue that has to keep moving. Speciality coffee served at volume without dropping the quality.

Weddings

Morning-of coffee for the getting-ready room, or a late pick-me-up when the dancing starts. Quiet, tidy, out of your photographer’s way.

Corporate days

Better than the office machine, and it gets people out of their chairs and talking to each other, which is rather the point.

Private parties

Birthdays, christenings, anniversaries. A proper coffee bar without turning your kitchen into one.

Markets & pop-ups

A regular pitch or a one-off. The van is self-contained and quick to set up.

Charity & community

Fundraisers, awareness days, club events. This is the work the van was built for. Ask me.

Coffee + DJ

Coffee. Connection. Music.

Planning a brand activation, launch or event and want something a little different? Social Cup can transform from a fully functioning speciality coffee van into a DJ booth, bringing coffee, music and connection together in one space.

Whether it’s coffee service, a live DJ set, or a combination of both, we can work with you to create something unique for your event.

  • Brand activations
  • Launches
  • Private events
  • Coffee + DJ
  • DJ set only

Questions

Helpful information.

Where is the van, and when?
You’ll usually find us on Otterspool Promenade, in the lay-by near The Britannia Inn. Tuesday to Friday, 7am till 3pm. We also turn up at festivals and events across Merseyside, so Instagram is the quickest way to check today’s pitch before you set off.
How do I book the van for an event?
Use the enquiry form on this page. Tell us the date, the place, roughly how many people and what sort of event it is, and you’ll get a straight answer back. Or send a DM on Instagram if that’s easier.
What sort of events do you do?
Festivals, weddings, corporate days, private parties, sporting events, markets and charity events. If it involves people standing around who’d rather be holding a coffee, it’s probably a yes.
Do you travel outside Liverpool?
Yes. Most of our work is around Liverpool and Merseyside, but the van travels, so tell us where you are and we’ll let you know.
What’s the story with the quotes on the cups?
Every cup carries an uplifting line. It’s a small thing, but small things are rather the point of this van. There’s more on that in Connor’s story.
Do you do oat milk and decaf?
Yes. Just ask at the hatch.
