Kendal coffee and tea merchants Farers are celebrating their 200th anniversary this year and what better way to celebrate a birthday than with a Royal visit!

HRH The Countess of Wessex will be visiting John Farrer & Co at their modern premises on the Shap Road Industrial Estate on 6th February 2019. The Countess will take a tour of the site and unveil a commemorative plaque to mark the special celebration. The occasion will also see the start of production of a 200th anniversary coffee blend!

Farrer’s is the UK’s oldest coffee roaster, an award-winning business and one we are proud of here in Kendal. To try Farrer’s coffee for yourself pop into Farrer’s Tea & Coffee shop on Finkle Street. In the heart of our bustling shopping district, it’s a great place for a quick refreshment or leisurely lunch.
