THE BIG ONE IS GETTING BIGGER

The UK’s biggest fishing show is breaking all records in the lead up to what organisers promise will be the biggest and best ever.
The ticket sales for The Big One are 25 per cent up compared to this time last year for the two-day extravaganza that takes place on Saturday, March 24 and Sunday, March 25.

The show saw 21,000 visitors through the doors last year and it’s this growing popularity that has now seen it move to a permanent new indoor site at Farnborough Exhibition Centre.

Visitors will be able to test baits in tanks, book fishing holidays, join clubs and check out new fishing books and DVDs.

There will be a new section dedicated to lure angling, which will focus on boat and kayak anglers. There will also be much more for sea anglers than ever before.

In addition, visitors will be able to get their hands on the latest tackle and meet and learn from the stars in two huge theatres that will stage talks and demonstrations. In addition, there will also be many new elements to its already hugely popular format.

“There’s always a big buzz around the show, but this year is something else,” said Vince Davies, of Fishface Promotions.

“I think the new venue is causing loads of excitement, as not only are ticket sales 25 per cent up on last year, but we are also selling more two-day tickets than ever before. This shows that anglers realise that there’s just too much to see and experience in just one day.

“The fact that we will also have lots more for lure, boat and sea anglers will make this the most all-rounded show we’ve ever put on.”

Manufacturers already booked include Korda, Daiwa, Nash, Preston Innovations, Korum, Avid, Fox, Matrix and Maver.
