Hobgoblin – Wychwood Brewery’s flagship beer brand – has agreed to become title sponsor for The Hobgoblin Evesham Championship – the headline event of the Evesham Angling Festival.
The match – which invites 35 of the nation’s top anglers and pits them against 35 qualifiers – carries a top prize of £3,000 and kicks off the biggest spectator angling event in the calendar.
“Its great news,” said festival director Roger Mortimer. “Three years ago we added a beer and cider festival to the weekend’s attractions so getting a headliner from that field to support the angling action is a real coup.”
“This year’s event will see all the members of the England national sides taking part on a river that’s been fishing very well during the qualifying events.”
The brewery have agreed an initial one-match sponsorship package that will see winners walk away with samples of its legendary beer and commemorative Hobgoblin tankards as well as the cash and trophies.
