Cornish Lure Festival 2025: Introduction
The Art of Fishing (AOF) Lure Festival has run since 2011. Combining a relaxed atmosphere with a presentation and prizes to finish the weekend off, we see many returning entrants every year from all levels of lure fishing experience. Many travel a long way to join us.
The event officially starts at 12-noon on Friday, October 3rd – the moment you’re given your CLF “entrant card“. However, entrants will no-doubt begin to gather at the Pavilion Centre (Royal Cornwall Showground) mid-way through the morning. There’s nothing like the Friday morning festival buzz!
You then fish all of Friday afternoon, Saturday and Sunday morning before we all pile back to the Pavilion Centre for the presentation. Doors open at noon.
