Having been fishing for over 25 years, I have been fortunate enough to experience one of the most relaxing and thrilling outdoor sports.
Over the years, I have seen a decline in children selecting hobbies and sports outdoors, instead, opting for an ipad or x-box. That might simply be because it's the more convenient option, or purely because the opportunity to go fishing these days is rare. We, at The Fishing Experience are here to give youngsters a chance to experience the joys and thrills that fishing brings, and I personally enjoy nothing more, than to watch somebody else's eyes light up with pure excitement from catching fish.

The Venue
The primary venue we use is Westmill Lake located in the grounds of Westmill Farm. It's a stunning picturesque lake surrounded by jaw dropping surroundings. Parents can choose to drop children off leaving them in the hands of an experienced coach or can choose to grab a bite to eat and enjoy the view while waiting until the end of the session.
There is also plenty of other activities at this venue! You can go Glamping, play Footgolf, Archery, Zip wires or cool off on the H20 Rampage! Check out the site for more details!
Once you have entered Westmill Farm, please go to the fishing tackle shop who will direct to the Westmill lake car park.
The meeting point will be the coarse car park.
Keep following the signs to the H20 until you see our Fishing Experience banner where you will be met by your coach and the activities for the day will be explained to you.
