The 29th edition of Carp Den Bosch was, in all aspects, a great success. We are extremely proud of our show, and we work hard to keep the standard of Carp Den Bosch very high. You don’t have a show which has been around for 29 years without putting in the hard work.
The show
On January 18 and 19, the doors of the Brabanthallen opened for Europe’s biggest and best carp show: Carp Den Bosch 2025. We had adhered to the wishes of the stand holders by opening for two, instead of three days this year. The size of the halls, coupled with wide paths to ensure everyone could see all of the stands with ease, made this possible.
For the first time, we offered a reduced price afternoon ticket for Saturday so that visitors who wanted to arrive later, and stay until closing on Saturday, had plenty of time to see all their favourite stands, but in a more relaxed atmosphere. More than 1,000 visitors took advantage of this, and we will be doing it again next year.
Totally Carp
With a total exhibition space of 24,000 m² and more than 150 stands, all dedicated purely to carp fishing, there was more than enough to see and do this edition. All the big-name companies were there and with more than 1,400 experienced carp anglers manning the stands, we could all learn something new.
New products and companies
This year, there were more new companies and products on show for the first time at Carp Den Bosch than ever before. Whether you came for a bait boat, a new set of rods, a bivvy or just to enjoy the atmosphere, there was something for everyone at Carp Den Bosch.
Visitors
More than 16,800 visitors, from 32 different countries from China to the USA, and almost every country of the European Union and beyond, visited our show this year. The number of visitors shows that carp fishing is still as popular as ever. and we can therefore speak of a very successful edition of Carp Den Bosch. We would like to thank you for your visit and hope that you enjoyed it as much as we did.
