Information

Essex Carp Show has been postponed to the following weekend of Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th February.

Storm Isha has caused great structural damage to the show, this means we can no longer open on January 27/28th. The show is now postponed to the following weekend of February 3/4th. All exhibitors have so far confirmed the new date, if any exceptions occur they will be posted, the only slight change for the new date is we can no longer offer the casting on the Saturday, the Sunday is casting as normal.

What to do;
If you wish to attend the same day ie still the Saturday then you do not have to change anything, your tickets will all work as normal. If you want a refund See tickets will give you a refund, if you want to change the day, ie Saturday to Sunday, again See tickets will oversee this for you.

Huge apologies for this inconvenience and the time its taken to get this message to you but we've been in meetings all day with Council, Airfield, Contractors and exhibitors alike, at this moment we are just thankful we can still put on this fantastic event. the following weekend.

Is car parking FREE?

Car Parking is free and next to the halls. Stewards will direct you to a parking space. No entry before 7am, there is plenty of space for all.

Is there disabled parking?

Yes there is. Please have your blue badge on show on your dash to gain access to this designated area in the carp show car park. Blue badge holders must be present in the car.

Can a disabled carer get in the show for free?

We welcome visits from people with disabilities to the event along with their assistance dogs and we take every precaution to ensure maximum safety and enjoyment for everyone. A person will be eligible for complimentary access to the show if they are accompanying a registered disabled person that has one of the following proofs of entitlement.

  • Letter from consultant/doctor detailing the name of the person, the condition and why they are eligible and in need of a carer.

  • Letter/notice of entitlement for Personal Independent Payment (PIP)

  • Copy/proof of DLA entitlement

  • Letter/proof of Dept of Working Pension (DWP)

Any of these proofs of entitlement will need to be supported by photographic ID.

Are children free?

Yes if the child is under 12 years at the time of the event and is accompanied by a paying adult, they are free and need no ticket Children aged 12-15 will be able to purchase at the concessionary ticket price.

Where are the toilets?

The toilet blocks are located just outside the entrance, a short walk across the car park and will be sign posted.

What is the Medical/First Aid procedure?

Please advise an onsite steward of any incident.

Are dogs allowed?

No, unless it is an assistance dog.

Is there a cash machine on site?

The cash machine company want to charge a £5 withdrawal fee, which we feel is unreasonable, so there is no cash machine onsite this year, nearest one would be the local petrol stations. All exhibitors now take card and bring plenty of cash with you to barter with.

No market on the Saturday?

The market has been cancelled for our show weekend, so we have the whole site and all of the hard standing parking.

Still have a question? Don't worry, we can help you with any questions or problem.
