Running from Sunday 22nd April to Friday 27th April inclusive, the Festival comprises three days of Festival matches plus three separate Open Matches on the days when the Festival Matches are not held. Festival days are Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The open matches at £20 entry on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. 

The festival is based on 60 anglers, 20 on each of the 3 lakes rotating through the three festival days, ensuring all anglers will have fished all 3 lakes. The lake that you draw on the Sunday Open will be the lake that you fish on the Monday open match, from then you rotate clockwise through the week. i.e. if you draw the Carp Lake on Sunday and Monday you will fish the Tench Lake on Tuesday and Wednesday and the the Match Lake for the final two days. Points wil be awarded 1 for first place 2 for second place and so on, on each of the 3 lakes. The angler with the least number of points over the 3 days will be festival champion.The first 7 places on each lake will qualify for pools money and the top 7 individuals on aggregate points after the three days will make up the overall prize list. The total prize fund will be £6,600.

The angler who caught the largest fish during the 3 festival days will receive a cash prize.
