A Tale of Two Classics: The Grind x Penguin 'Fully Booked' Student Tour
Great books, great coffee, not a lecture slide in sight. Come find us serving FREE iced coffee in a city near you.
Exam season isn't know for its fun. It’s the time of year when your notes multiply while your sleep doesn’t, and the library becomes your entire personality.
We respect the grind. And we're pulling up in our pop-up truck with exactly what you need... free iced coffee.
The Grind x Penguin: Fully Booked tour is coming to a city near you. We're bringing free iced drinks, audiobooks, and a very good reason to put down the post-its and give your brain a much-deserved break.
What is the Grind x Penguin Summer Tour?
We've teamed up with Penguin to take our coffee truck on tour to four universities with an iced coffee bar, a mobile audio bookstore, and some free limited-edition merch.
We'll be in each city from 10am-4pm. Come for the free coffee, stay for the vibe, leave with something to listen to on the walk home. There's no better way to take a little time for yourself during exam season.
Where to find us and when:
Our pop-up truck will be open from 10am-4pm at each location.
Monday 18th May - Leeds University Union, Lifton Pl, Woodhouse, LS2 9JZ
Wednesday 20th May - Manchester University, Spa St, M13 9PR
Friday 22nd May - Cardiff University, Cathays, CF24 4AG
Tuesday 26th May - Brunel University, The Union of Brunel Students, Hamilton Centre (Main Atrium), UB8 3PH
What's on offer?
Drinks on us. Take your pick from our classic coffee menu or our two seasonal specials: Iced Spanish Latte and Iced Strawberry Matcha, all served in limited-edition Grind x Penguin cups, naturally.
And for the bit we’re extra excited about… every student gets a card with a QR code that unlocks a curated selection of audiobook extracts from 11 Penguin authors including Emily Henry, Gary Stevenson, Margaret Atwood, and Lizzie Damilola Blackburn.
A perfect pairing: reading, but your hands stay free for coffee. Ideal.
Students will also receive exclusive stickers, bookmarks, a limited run of co-branded caps, and a zine with tips on how to switch-off and take a moment for yourself.
Why are we doing our Summer Tour?
Because a great book and an iced coffee is exactly what you need right now. The Grind x Penguin Summer Tour is our love letter to little treats and the underrated act of taking a proper break.
Find us, grab your freebies, get back to work quite literally feeling full of beans.
