SET FAIR FOR CHRISTMAS


Today's special pre-Christmas Brigg Farmers' Market drew large crowds of eager shoppers to the Market Place, many town residents being joined by visitors from surrounding town and villages, and a few from further afield.
Barrow Band provided suitably seasonal tunes from within the bandstand, and there was a good range of stalls, selling everything from cheese to spices and ostrich burgers.
This being Christmas, many folk were prepared to flash their cash a little more liberally than they would at the monthly farmers' markets held at other times of the year.
Brigg's shops also gained, with many people attracted to the town centre by the market also going on to set the tills ringing for our established businesses.
Although the weather was cold, at least the rain held off.
