✨ Ugly Jumper: Get snapped in your festive wear with fellow founders

We hosted our first Christmas Party in 2022, as a way to bring our community together at the end of a tough year for many food and drink businesses. We thought we'd be pretty chuffed if a couple dozen people came to share a drink or two with us... So we were pretty blown away when hundreds of people turned up and filled the pub!

We realised that the food and drink community needed to kick back, celebrate and raise a drink just as much as we did. So, we're back for a second year, in a much bigger venue, so everyone can join in.

Whether you're a food and drink founder, part of a food brand team, an industry expert, a pre-launch startup, a distributor, a manufacturer, a product developer, a branding guy... Anyone involved in the food and drink world is welcome and we can't wait to see you there.

Bread & Jam are the organisers of the UK's biggest challenger brand festival. Our festival brings together entrepreneurs, innovators, investors, buyers, media and industry leaders. There are opportunities to pitch your product to buyers from delis, foodhalls (Selfridges, Harrods, Fortnum & Masons), speciality retailers (Whole Foods, Planet Organic, Holland & Barrett), supermarkets (Ocado, Sainsbury's, Tesco, Co-op and more). Bread & Jam also run a comprehensive programme of deep-dive Summits into specialist topics.
