Here are five things you need to know about next year’s event…

  • The River Trent at Burton Joyce, Nottinghamshire will be the new home of the RiverFest final. The River Severn at Shrewsbury played host over the last two years.

  • Stoke Lane hugs the river bank at Burton Joyce which allows superb access to swims and behind-your-peg parking.

  • The final will be fished on the weekend of September 26 and 27 to suite weather conditions. The 2019 final was pushed back several weeks due to intense flooding.

  • Respected Trent expert Wayne Swinscoe will be working closely with RiverFest creator Dave Harrell to ensure the final’s success.

  • Anglers participating in the final will be able to catch a diverse mix of species, from gudgeon, bleak, dace and roach through to big bream, barbel and carp.
