Tickets are selling out quickly for this year’s Evesham Festival qualifying matches, following the news that the sponsors Shakespeare, Match Fishing Magazine and Wychavon District Council, have once again guaranteed over £18,000 in prize money – meaning a total prize fund of around £28,000 for the three day festival!
The event, which is the richest river fishing festival in the country, takes place over the August Bank Holiday weekend of 24th August, 25th August and 26th August 2013 – and attracts many of the Country’s top anglers. Alongside the angling spectacle, there is a massive tented village packed with angling related goodies, craft stores, fine foods, and of course a well stocked beer tent!
Match organiser, Diane Raphael is delighted with how bookings have been going so far this year: “The matches are always well attended, but to have every qualifier almost sold out before the season has even begun is almost unprecedented. It is also nice to see a lot of new names on the list, I am sure they will enjoy the fishing, and be made to feel very welcome here in Evesham.”
To book on the matches, give Diane a call on: 01386 442458, or Email diana@raphael.wyenet.co.uk.
