European Beach Fishing Championships to Return to Bridlington

It's been confirmed that the Paul Roggeman European Open Beach Championship will return to East Yorkshire next year.

The stunning East Riding of Yorkshire coast will once again welcome anglers from the UK and Europe as the 32nd Paul Roggeman European Open Beach Championship (EOBC) will take place from Friday, 13 March to Sunday, 15 March 2026.

The three day beach fishing competition stretches from the north end of North Marine Promenade, Bridlington to Pilot Jetty at Spurn Point.

The event will feature exceptional cash prizes and fishing equipment to be won. Competitors will be able to pick up valuable experiences, tactics, skills and techniques whilst enjoying a fun-filled weekend meeting new and old friends.

A number of exhibitors will also be present at the event offering expert advice and some great offers on their products.

All competitors will also be entered in the Golden Ticket Draw which will be held at the event hub for the chance to win a stay at Sand-Le-Mere Holiday Park following the presentations on Sunday evening.

Tickets are on sale with weekend prices at £30 for seniors and £20 for juniors. Pairs and team of 4 tickets are also available. Advance tickets are always in high demand, with anglers visiting from across Europe so competitors will need to be quick.  

The popular warm-up ‘Flattie Bash’ event will also take place on Friday, 13 March, kick-starting a full weekend of angling. This catch and release event will be held between Fraisthorpe, Bridlington and Hornsea with fishing times between 10.00am and 2.00pm. Tickets are priced at £10 per person (cash only) with registration taking place on the day at Hornsea Floral Hall from 7am to 9.15am.

Councillor Nick Coultish, cabinet member for culture, leisure and tourism at East Riding of Yorkshire Council said:

“We are proud to host this prestigious angling competition on our beautiful coastline and we look forward to welcoming visitors from across the UK and Europe to our region, providing the local visitor economy with a timely boost during the early part of 2026.”
