Get your rods ready and your boots muddy because Countryside Day 2024 at Cheltenham promises to be a reel adventure for all fly-fishing enthusiasts. This year’s event is a splendid fusion of sport, fun, and conservation, and it's all happening amidst the breathtaking backdrop of Cheltenham Racecourse.

At the heart of the action is none other than Charles Jardine, the legendary founder of Fishing for Schools. Known for his expertise and passion, Jardine will captivate audiences with an exhilarating fly-fishing demonstration in the Parade Ring at precisely 12:05pm. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a curious novice, this demonstration is a must-see as Jardine shares his tips and tricks, turning the complex art of fly-casting into a dance of grace and precision. With his charisma and knowledge, Jardine aims to inspire the next generation of anglers and demonstrate how fly-fishing can be both a sport and a means to boost mental well-being.

But there's more to Countryside Day than just the splashes and swishes. For a chance to take home some amazing fishing gear or other countryside collectibles, make sure to participate in the silent auction. This not only adds a competitive thrill to the day's activities but also supports a great cause—raising funds for Fishing for Schools, an initiative dedicated to providing young people with hands-on experiences and fostering a love for nature.

The event is set to be a family-friendly day out, where countryside charm meets vibrant activity. Beyond fishing, attendees can enjoy an array of countryside pursuits, explore artisan food stalls, and witness live entertainment that captures the essence of rural life. This is more than just a day; it’s a celebration of the great outdoors and the rich tapestry of life it supports.

In between casting lines and bidding wars, take a moment to soak in the lively atmosphere and make new connections with fellow outdoor aficionados. With its perfect mix of exhilarating fly-fishing and countryside camaraderie, Countryside Day 2024 at Cheltenham is ready to make waves.
