Hampton Ferry Fishery, River Avon

Hampton Ferry is a proper old-school Warwickshire Avon match stretch at Evesham, run by E W Huxley & Son. It’s built around competition fishing, with daily pegs for clubs or individuals and a cracking £6.50 ticket.

The lowdown

  • This is one of the oldest fisheries in the country, according to the holder — and it has that long-established riverside match-fishing feel.
  • The holder calls Hampton Ferry the “Mecca of Match Angling”. Big claim, but the fixture list backs up how busy the place is.
  • Fishing is primarily competition angling, with Evesham Angling Festival qualifiers, open matches, Riverfest qualifiers and Evesham & District Angling Association events.
  • The published programme includes winter-league, memorial, cup and qualifier matches. So, yes, there’s usually plenty going on here.
  • The Ferry section is still very much active, with fixtures published through 2026 and 2027 and regular match results posted.
  • Published 2026 results include catches over 37 lb from the Ferry section. That’s a proper match weight and shows the stretch can get right on the munch.
  • Pegs are available to clubs or individuals by the day, or even part of a day. Most are accessible by car, which keeps the faff down.
  • Two pegs have wheelchair access. There are no car-parking charges for anglers, another handy touch for match days.
  • The venue sits beside the hand-operated Hampton Ferry, linking Evesham with Hampton. Access is via Boat Lane, and Raphael’s Restaurant is normally open at least an hour before match draw times.
  • A close season applies from 15 March to 15 June. The holder does not publish a separate night-fishing permission for this stretch, so don’t assume nights are allowed.

Methods: This is a match-fishing venue first and foremost, so expect organised swims and competition-style approaches. The checked information doesn’t specify particular tactics, depths, features or species for the stretch.

Fish the club names

Key rules

  • Close season: 15 March to 15 June.
  • Bookings for Evesham Angling Festival qualifiers and open contests must be made online.
  • The holder does not publish a separate night-fishing permission for this stretch.

Coarse fishing on English rivers is closed from 15 March to 15 June inclusive. That's the law for coarse fish on rivers — it's not a club rule, and game-fishing seasons work differently.
