Scores of stars to attend Northern Angling Show!
The celebrity A-Team from the carp, match and coarse world has been confirmed to appear at the first ever Northern Angling Show – which is scheduled to run on the 23rd & 24th March at EventCity, Manchester.

Fishing guru and former decathlete Dean Macey, one of the biggest personalities in carp fishing, Derek ‘The Don’ Ritchie will both be appearing over the two days. TV personalities Matt Hayes and Ali Hamidi will also be there, along with many other angling celebrities, including the current world champion match angler, Sean Ashby.

Carp angling ambassadors, Julian Cundiff, Steve Briggs and Rob Hughes are also confirmed to make an appearance along with representatives from the specimen and predator scenes all offering advice and tips for fishing fans that visit the show.

Despite 43% of the UK’s annual rod license sales coming from the North West a dedicated Angling Show has never been hosted before in the north for fans of the sport. Brands including Korda, Nash, Aqua, Trakker, Guru and Peg One will be showcasing the latest equipment and tackle.

The show is expected to attract over 10,000 visitors to experience the huge market place featuring show deals and bargains. There are also two dedicated halls - one for carp angling and one for coarse fishing fans. Both will have purpose built lakes to try out the latest tackle and an ice and wet room so that amateur and keen fishermen can test some of the latest gear from exhibitors in the harshest of conditions.

Angling seminars, rig and bait clinics and demonstrations will also feature as part of the weekend attraction. Jamie Clossick, respected angler, journalist and show Director said: “We’re thrilled to be able to bring such an exciting Angling showcase to fans in the North.

There is something for everyone happening over the two days and whether you’re a regular angler or keen on building up your expertise and equipment it promises to be a very exciting two days.”
