Slide shows, tackle and bait stands, licensed bar, live bands and entertainment at a two-day carp festival!

Psssst. Want to see Laney’s slide show? How about the latest presentation from Alan Blair?

Carp In The Park is the standalone social that boasts a star-studded line-up of speakers, live music, all the top brands and all the fun of a music festival.

Now in its fourth year, it’s a weekend not to be missed and is the perfect excuse to get away with your family and mates and bivvy up in the festival atmosphere of Billing Aquadrome.

As well as the slide shows, live demos, teach-ins, casting clinic and all the latest gear, the event is your chance to rub shoulders with the biggest names in carping in a laid-back atmosphere, smack bang in the centre of England. The list of exhibitors is a who’s who of carp brands and confirmed names include Nash, JRC, Avid, Chub, Prologic, Shimano and TF Gear, to name but a few. There are also several bait suppliers showing and selling their products, and countless smaller stands focused on bite alarms, end gear and clothing. As a tackle show it’s impressive – one of the best line-ups you’ll find anywhere – but bolt on the slide shows, demos and live music and you’ve got a ‘must not miss’ event. 

Ticket prices have been kept low – accompanied under 16s are free! – and even staying over won’t break the bank.

This is a weekender that you won’t want to miss at a venue steeped in carp fishing history. Come for the day, come for two days. Bring your bivvies and camping gear! The event takes place over the weekend of June 30th and July 1st at Billing Aquadrome, Northampton NN3 9DA.

Day tickets are priced at just £12 while a two-day pass is just £19. Accommodation and camping pitch packages are also available, all at very realistic rates.
