Tasty local produce will be on offer from farmers’ market traders with additional stalls selling speciality Italian and Indian food, maple syrup products, confectionery and rare-breed pork.
Visitors can also pick up goods from the town’s Saturday general market and make the most of their day by popping into Brigg’s many unique shops.
