Following a covid-enforced absence of two years, we are happy to announce that Europe’s Biggest and Best Carp Show is ready to rock! On Friday 20 January 2023 the doors of the Brabanthallen in the Dutch City of ‘s-Hertogenbosch (known as Den Bosch) will open for 3 days for the 27th edition of the Carp extravaganza which will now be known as Carp Den Bosch. This is the show that no carp angler should miss!
Not in Zwolle, but in ‘s-Hertogenbosch
Yes, you read it correctly. The Carp show has moved from Zwolle to the Brabanthallen in ‘s-Hertogenbosch. The new location is not only newer, but is much more centrally located for Holland, Belgium and Germany, and much bigger than we are used to. We have immediately taken advantage of the extra space and increased the size of the show by 4,000 m² to a total of 24,000 m²!
What can you expect at Carp Den Bosch 2023?
Carp Den Bosch is totally dedicated to fishing for carp. You will find the big-name brands, but also the smaller, specialised companies who cannot wait to show you their new products and innovations for 2023. Bait, rods, reels, clothing, bivvies, luggage, holidays and much, much more. If you cannot find it at Carp Den Bosch, it probably does not exist yet.
As always there will be some of Europe’s top carp anglers giving talks, slide-shows and showing videos in the Carp den Bosch Theatre each day. We have an incredible line-up in store for you.
There will be plenty to do at Carp Den Bosch whether you are young or just young-at-heart. Demonstrations by top anglers can be found throughout the halls.
