Thousands of fishermen will pilgrimage to the Norfolk Showground this weekend as the largest fishing event in East Anglia finally takes to the stage. The original show was due to take place in January but due to the unfortunate snowy weather conditions which covered Norfolk, had to be rescheduled for this 16th-17th March 2013, however now the show is even bigger than it previously would have been – with the event spreading further than 50,000 sq. ft. through the indoor Exhibition halls.
Some of the big names which will be headlining the event include Norfolk’s very own celebrity John Wilson, as well as Bob Nudd MBE, Rob Maylin, Jerry Hammond, Keith Williams and speculations of Danny Fairbrass even making an appearance. Members of public are invited along to the show where Adult tickets can be purchased on the gate for £10 each, or pre-booked online at a reduced rate. Once there they will find over 120 top fishing companies, and manufacturers of clothing, bait, tackle and equipment at great low show prices.
Huge manufacturer names Korda and Nash have confirmed their attendance as have key retailers and bait companies Fox, Trakker, CC Moore, Mainline Baits, Eric’s Angling, and Angling Direct, magazine publications and book publishers – many of which will bring top rated authors along for book signings. PLUS brand new TV channel for Archant ‘Mustard TV’ have confirmed they will be coming along to film this great day out.

The show offers everything, with product launches from Advanced Technology Tackle, Mad Baits and Nash who will be demonstrating with their Deliverance Ball Maker; to angling celebrities John Wilson and Bob Nudd, plus expert consultants on every stand offering great fishing tips, advice and product reviews.
