Oatopia at the London Marathon, London Coffee Festival and more!

It’s been a very busy year so far at Oatopia and April has been no exception. From the Brighton marathon to the London marathon, it's been non-stop events and shows!

To start the month, the Oatopia truck rolled up to the Brighton Marathon and Goodwood Members Meeting, keeping runners, drivers, and spectators fueled up on flapjacks and coffee. Back at HQ, the Oatopia team baked and then packed up a few tons (yes, tons!!!) of flapjacks before heading up to London for two weeks of shows.

The London Coffee Festival

The first stop was the London Coffee Festival located at the Truman Brewery in Shoreditch. Of course, coffee and flapjacks are a match made in heaven, so all the coffee lovers attending were very happy to discover our stand!

After four full days in Shoreditch, the team travelled to the Excel for the Natural Food Show and the TCS London Marathon Running Show.

The TCS London Marathon Running Show

Flapjacks and Oat Bakes are the perfect snack for hungry runners preparing for a marathon, so runners (and their supporters) were very happy to find us there offering so many flavours, including lots of flapjack options for vegans. It was lovely to have many returning customers from previous years and a pleasure to meet some of our regular online customers too!

Where to find us next month

Next, we travel to Birmingham for the Farm Shop and Deli show held at the NEC. There we will be presenting our new retail range of Oat Bakes to potential new stockists, including our Farm Shop and Deli Gold award-winning Salted Caramel Oat Bake and Bronze award-winning Almond Bakewell Oat Bake.
