We are delighted to announce that the Orvis Saltwater Fly Fishing Festival 2024 will be taking place from Friday 30th – Sunday 1st September in Chichester Harbour and Hayling Island. The festival, based from the Langstone Quays Hotel, invites likeminded anglers to forge new friendships, develop new skills, and learn more about Saltwater Fly Fishing in the UK, whilst competing for exclusive Orvis prizes.

The Orvis Saltwater Fly Fishing Festival is, first and foremost, about building a community of people who share the same passions: fly-fishing, the outdoors, and adventure. In a world filled with busyness and disconnectedness, we are proud to have created an event which offers these people the opportunity to pause, come together, and simply take the time to enjoy themselves. The weekend is a chance not only to explore saltwater fly-fishing, but also to meet new people, learn something new, and forge connections. Central to developing these shared experiences are our event partners without whom the event would not be possible.
