Bridlington is preparing to welcome back the Paul Roggeman European Open Beach Championship (EOBC) next month.
Anglers from the UK and abroad will be taking their place from Friday 11th March to Sunday 13th March from the north end of North Marine Promenade to Pilot Jetty at Spurn Point.
Councillor Jane Evison, portfolio holder for economic development and tourism at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “We are proud to yet again host this prestigious angling competition to our coastline. It was a great shame to see the event cancelled due to COVID last year so I am sure we will see a successful return for keen fishers this year.
“It is without doubt the largest three-day beach fishing championship event in Europe, so we’re excited that competitors from countries such as Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands can enjoy our surroundings.
“We also welcome the economic benefits the event will bring for local businesses, as we know from previous years’ experience it generates an estimated half a million pounds each time.”
