PAID EVENT: Get a Get Fishing Award at Severn Lakes Fishery

RG7 4PG
Open to all

Get Fishing events are fun, friendly and safe fishing days for families and individuals of all abilities

Come and try fishing at our quality assured angling events and discover the wonders of angling! Whether you’re fishing for the first time, heading out for a day out with the family, or getting back into angling, fishing is a great way to get out there doing something different and will teach kids new outdoor skills.

Everything you need to catch your first fish or learn more about fishing is provided and our friendly volunteers will make you welcome. So, come on – Get Fishing!

We’ve developed the Get Fishing Awards to help take you on the first steps of your angling journey – from the unforgettable excitement of catching your first fish, right through to becoming a more experienced angler who can set up tackle, safely return your own fish and have the correct Environment Agency fishing licence.

You can’t easily fit all of this into a short ‘taster session’ so we’ve created a simple three-step programme.

At the end of the Get Fishing Award pathway, you will have received a badge for each of three sessions – Have a Go, New Angler and Angler.

The Get Fishing Awards programme starts with a simple, short, active angling taster session with the focus on giving you the chance of catching a fish.

Cost: £7.00

Booking: None required – just turn up and #GetFishing!
