Reeffest will be held over the weekend of 16th & 17th May 2015
We felt Mark and his team did a fantastic job on Reef-Fest 2014 and they are centralised for the UK, have a large enough car park, food, farm facilities for all the family and a very large square footage of shop space to cater for the numbers expected.
After last years overwhelming success they are aiming to make this year even better. This is the third year running of Reef-Fest & because of it's popularity we have opened it up across all forums again.
Mark at Cockfields has organised for representatives from all the major marine equipment suppliers to be in store to.
Demonstrate their products and take questions from the public
as well as a huge range of quality livestock to choose from.

In the farm there will also be loads going on to keep the kids entertained all day aswell as play areas so bring the family!!
There are lots of hotels around the area if you want to make a weekend of it
I'm sure Mark will do Reef-Fest 2015 justice & make it one of the best marine hobbyist meets in the UK.
Hopefully the weather will be shining down on us again like last year but even if it's raining the farm & large shop are indoors and Mark has a large marque ordered.
