"ely eel day" news and stories

Want a chance to taste smoked and jellied eels? Or maybe more conventional food such as s hog roast is more your bag?

The Ely (its a small city just north east of Cambridge) Eel Day this year is on the 29th April. It will be eels all the way with displays from the Environmental Agency and Ely Perspective Riverside Group as well as information and artefacts from the art of eel catching.  I also hear there will be a special beer brewed for the occassion as a one-off!

If the thought of an eel throwing competition is more a kids event and not for serious adults (swing that eel baby!) then Ely’s Boathouse Restaurant, beside the river, is offering a variety of eel dishes on the menu throughout the weekend.
