'Tunnel Barn Farm is the Midlands' premier fishery offering day tickets for pleasure fishermen, daily competitions for match anglers and hosting club many club matching all year round.
Located in the picturesque village of Shrewley in the heart of the Warwickshire countryside, our fishery is made up of 9 unique pools.
We have been open to the public for over 20 years and stocks tens of thousands of fish including many varieties of carp, chub, tench, bream, roach and perch. Each pool ranges in size and style and there are over 300 pegs to choose from. Each peg has been designed to give anglers something to fish to. There are a number of designated disabled pegs, and for those that require assistance reaching their pegs, a member of staff is always on hand to help. You can park behind the majority of our pegs making it easy to get setup.
Our onsite tackle shop stocks virtually all types of bait and tackle. For example, we have poles starting from £30, landing nets with handles from £10 and keepnets from £20. Advice on how to fish the complex is always available from the guys in the shop. For more information on the tackle shop please call 01926 842188 and our staff will be pleased to assist you.

We have also held corporate events for a number of companies including: Ibstock Brick, Cromwell, Argos, Severn Trent, the RAF, MOD, the Fire Service and the Royal Navy.
We hold our own Winter League which is attended by some of the top anglers in the Midlands including England internationals.
This league is extremely popular and sells out within weeks of the dates being announced.
