Tacklefest Is Back!

Britain’s favourite family fishing show returns once again to the Nene Embankment on Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th July 2004.

Following last year’s hugely successful Tacklefest weekend, the East of England’s premier fishing tackle sale will once again take place on the Nene Embankment, Peterborough over the 3rd and 4th of July from 9:30am – 5.00pm.

Promising huge bargains and fun activities for the whole family, Tacklefest will, for the fourth year running, take place alongside the ‘Angling Times’ Team Championships final’.

Fresh from his appearance at the Angling Times Go Fishing Show, top TV celebrity Matt Hayes will return to give live demonstrations. Matt will be available for questions from keen anglers who require tips and advice over the course of the whole weekend.

Also at the show, Bob Nudd – one of Britain’s best and most recognisable anglers. Bob will be giving live demonstrations and advice over the two days as well as the PAA who will be available for free coaching on Saturday the 3rd – the perfect opportunity to introduce your youngsters to the sport.

Visitors can take advantage of the many retailers at the show and pick up a whole host of bargains. Why not grab a spot of lunch and refreshments at the show catering area and outside licensed bar while kids of all ages can get involved in a huge selection of games and activities. Try to ‘Beat the Keeper’ or ‘Bung a Boilie’ for a guaranteed prize.

Show manager Carl Taylor commented: “We hope that visitors will find the event even more enjoyable as we have taken features from the ‘Angling Times Go Fishing Show’ and incorporated them in this show for the benefit of all the local visitors who return to Tacklefest every year.”

The ‘Angling Times Team Championships Final’ will be held on Sunday 4th July on the Nene Embankment. Angling Times Editor Richard Lee stated, “Each year we get the top anglers in the country competing and it looks like this year will be no exception. Those who visit really can look forward to a riveting final.”
