London, UK – October 1, 2025 – The International Bulk Wine & Spirits Show (IBWSS) UK will now take place on its originally scheduled dates — 20–21 November 2025 — at a new venue: Christ Church, Spitalfields, London.

The change comes after severe flooding in the St Mary’s area of London rendered the previously planned venue inoperable. In the early hours of Thursday, September 25, 2025, a burst mains pipe caused catastrophic flooding, with more than one million litres of water pouring into the lower floor of St Mary’s. Essential infrastructure, including electrics, toilets, lifts, and kitchens, was destroyed.

The venue where we host the expo informed us on Monday, September 29, 2025, that they would not be able to prepare the venue in time for the November dates. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused — this was completely out of our control.

After evaluating multiple options, the IBWSS team acted swiftly to secure Christ Church, Spitalfields, London, as the new venue. This historic and centrally located site ensures IBWSS UK will proceed as planned, without altering the event dates.

“Our top priority was to protect our exhibitors’ investment and ensure visitors still experience IBWSS UK on the originally planned dates,” said Sid Patel, Founder & CEO of Beverage Trade Network. “Christ Church, Spitalfields, offers a prestigious and convenient setting, and we are confident it will provide an excellent experience for both exhibitors and attendees.”

With its soaring architecture and elegant interior, it provides a unique and prestigious setting for IBWSS UK. Conveniently located in the heart of East London, the venue is just an eight-minute walk from Liverpool Street Station, making it easily accessible for both domestic and international visitors.
