Let’s Go Family Fishing events are fun, social and safe fishing days for family groups. Fishing is a great way to get the whole family out there doing something different and will show kids new skills to learn in the outdoors. The event is being held as part of Love Parks week in the lakes of Abbey Grounds.

Everything you need to catch your first fish or learn more about angling is provided and our friendly volunteers will make you welcome.
