Now in its second year, the four-day celebration of the bar industry, spirits, innovation, and hospitality excellence delivered on its bold ambition to <strong>educate, inspire, and connect<\/strong> the global drinks community, while showcasing the very best that Edinburgh and Scotland have to offer. From April 6th\u20139th, venues across the capital were buzzing with energy as bartenders, brand ambassadors, and hospitality professionals came together to take part in the <strong>UK<\/strong><strong>\u2019<\/strong><strong>s fastest-growing bar trade event<\/strong>. Curated and delivered by <strong>Iain McPherson (Panda &amp; Sons), Jamie Faulds, and Gary Anderson (Edinburgh Cocktail Week)<\/strong>, the show is fast becoming a flagship celebration of the industry.<\/p>\n<p>With more than <strong>1,450 trade professionals<\/strong> attending the seminars and daytime events \u2013 and even larger crowds turning out for the evening activations and bar takeovers \u2013 EBS25 delivered an unforgettable programme. The event also saw a near <strong>15% increase<\/strong> in registrations compared to last year, underlining its rapid growth and rising profile. With over <strong>55 events<\/strong>, activations, and seminars hosted citywide, Edinburgh Bar Show has firmly cemented its place on the international hospitality calendar. Building on this success, the organisers are excited to confirm that <strong>Edinburgh Bar Show will return from Sunday 5th to Wednesday 8th April 2026<\/strong> \u2013 promising to raise the bar even higher.<em\/><\/p>\n<p><em>Jamie Faulds says \u201cWe were all so pleased with EBS25 \u2013 it felt like a real step-up year on year. There was an amazing energy and buzz across the city, and a real sense of community amongst all that attended. A huge thank you goes to our brand partners for this year who helped us build a schedule that certainly delivered on our aspirations to engage and excite our growing audience.\u00a0 Roll on 2026!\u201d<\/em><em\/><\/p>\n<p>Building on the strong foundations of its 2024 debut, this year\u2019s edition saw a marked expansion in scale and ambition. Returning to The Voodoo Rooms as the official EBS Hub, the programme featured daily seminars and activities alongside a stellar schedule of bar takeovers and experiential brand activations. Partner venues across the city hosted acclaimed international bars, while industry leaders delivered powerful insights during panel sessions and hands-on masterclasses.<\/p>\n<p>Highlights included:<br \/>\u2013 <strong>The Johnnie Walker <\/strong><strong>Drop <\/strong><strong>at Johnnie Walker Princes Street<\/strong>: Making its UK debut, this immersive activation ran daily from 12\u20138pm and proved to be one of the show\u2019s most talked-about experiences.<br \/>\u2013 <strong>Diageo Bar Academy Careers Lab<\/strong>: Offering team-building, career development, and even professional headshots, this two-day event created real value for attendees.<br \/>\u2013 <strong>Glenmorangie Wonder Cinema<\/strong>: A standout bartenders-only event at the Scotsman Cinema exploring the art of cocktail creativity.<br \/>\u2013 <strong>Mindful Drinking &amp; Wellness<\/strong>: Sessions with Everleaf, Laura Willoughby MBE and Camille Vidal and brought a focus on wellbeing to the fore.<br \/>\u2013 <strong>EBS Parties<\/strong>: With Hendrick\u2019s Gin and Monkey Shoulder joint hosting the opening party and closing with a bang courtesy of Remy Cointreau\u2019s Botanist &amp; Bruichladdich takeover at Uno Was.<\/p>\n<p><em>Gary Anderson says \u201cIt was amazing to see the bar community come out in force for the second edition of Edinburgh Bar Show. Expectations were high this year, and we definitely felt the pressure to deliver, but we have been delighted with the feedback from delegates and our brand partners which reaffirms our vision for the future of the event. We look forward to returning in 2026 with another dynamic and\u00a0progressive programme of events that puts Edinburgh Bar Show at the top of the list of international drinks trade shows to visit.\u201d<\/em><em\/><\/p>\n<p>The 2025 edition also saw a significant uplift in brand participation, with new names including <strong>Johnnie Walker<\/strong>, <strong>Paragon, Brown Forman<\/strong> and <strong>Schweppes<\/strong> joining returning partners such as William Grant &amp; Sons, Bacardi Group, Campari Group, and Pernod Ricard. Their new and continued support has ensured that EBS remains free to attend for trade professionals, which is a core principle of the organisers.<\/p>\n<p><em>Iain McPherson adds \u201cEdinburgh Bar Show is very important to the Scottish and greater afield bar communities. Giving free education to bartenders is something we are really proud of, and witnessing that hunger to learn, is amazing to see. I think the uptake from year one is a great testament to that. We wouldn\u2019t be able to do this without our amazing brand partners, so a huge thanks to them for the vital support.<\/em><em\/><\/p>\n<p><em>Having people all around the world getting to see what Edinburgh\u2019s bar scene is all about is fantastic and also giving the local bartenders the opportunity to learn from some of the Worlds best bars is very impactful too.<\/em><em\/><\/p>\n<p><em>The energy I feel at each Edinburgh bar show to date, is very special.\u201d<\/em><em\/><\/p>\n<p>At its heart, Edinburgh Bar Show is about people. Whether it was bartenders trading techniques, brands unveiling new products, or delegates making connections that will shape their careers, the atmosphere throughout was one of collaboration, creativity, and shared passion.<\/p>\n<p><em>The feedback from attendees and partners has been phenomenal, Vasilis Kyritsis co-owner of Line and The Clumsies in Athens adds \u201cIt was great to be part of EBS, such an amazing event and one of the most upcoming worldwide. Passionate people, amazing seminars and can\u2019t wait to be back next year!\u201d<\/em><em\/><\/p>\n<p>With momentum building and plans already underway for 2026, Edinburgh Bar Show continues to prove that Scotland is a global leader in hospitality innovation. The organisers are delighted that <strong>EBS will return next year from Sunday 5th to Wednesday 8th April 2026<\/strong>. With a reputation for excellence now firmly established, the 2026 edition promises to be the biggest and most dynamic yet offering even more opportunities for education, collaboration, and celebration across the global bar community.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Edinburgh Bar Show 2025 has officially wrapped \u2013 and what a show it was.
