Looking for something fun, active, and a bit different to do with your child?
Our Introduction to Fishing session is the perfect way for children aged 7–12 (and their grown-ups!) to experience angling in a safe, supportive, and exciting environment.
Introduction to Fishing Family Session
(Ages 7–12)
Sessions being held the week of May 25th to 29th.
25th May, Baden Hall fishery, Eccleshall, Stafford
26th May, Burston village pond, Burston, Stafford
27th May, Baden Hall Fishery, Eccleshall, Stafford
28th May, Burston village pond, Burston Stafford
What to expect
We’ll start the session by introducing everyone to:
- Water safety – understanding how to stay safe and confident near the water
- Basic fishing equipment – rods, reels, and how they work
- How to fish – simple, hands-on guidance before getting started
Safety is built in throughout the session, so both children and adults feel comfortable and ready before we begin fishing.
Then it’s time to fish!
Children will:
- Learn how to cast and handle equipment
- Try reeling in for themselves
- Experience the excitement of catching their first fish
All sessions are designed to be fun, relaxed, and beginner-friendly—no experience needed at all.
A session for families, not just children
We strongly encourage parents/guardians to take part by registering alongside their child.
If you’d like to book more than one child onto this event, please send Angling4Wellness a WhatsApp message or give us a call on 07309 845008, and we’ll get everything arranged. We can accommodate up to 4 participants per session.
This is important because:
- It helps you support and guide your child during the session
- It ensures everyone is covered under Environment Agency licensing requirements
- Most importantly—it turns the session into a shared experience
Why join in?
Fishing is more than just a hobby—it’s a chance to:
- Spend quality time together outdoors
- Learn a new skill as a family
- Build confidence, patience, and focus
- Create memories your child will talk about long after the session
No experience needed
Everything is provided, and our friendly team will guide you every step of the way.
All you need to bring is:
- Comfortable outdoor clothing
- A willingness to have a go and enjoy it
Come and give it a try
