BRIGG HOSTING SPRING FESTIVAL & MARKET

The Spring Food Festival is returning to Brigg on Saturday 25 April from 9am to 3pm as part of the award-winning Farmers’ Market. 
As well as the usual fantastic produce on offer at the Farmers’ Market there will be some additional stalls along Wrawby Street creating a wonderful street market in the centre of this historic market town. 
This is the perfect opportunity to stock up on great local produce direct from the producers. 
You will be able to buy everything from locally reared beef, pork and lamb to Lincolnshire Poacher and Cote Hill cheeses. 
There will also be a range of jams and preserves, organic breads, and gourmet fishcakes.  Not forgetting ‘the best chocolate brownies around’ and new to the market this time is locally produced scrumptious honey. You will be spoilt for choice. 
Explore the stalls at the festival and sample new tastes. Chat to the friendly and knowledgeable producers to find out what they have to offer. 
Local chef Nigel Brown will be presenting two cookery demonstrations in the bandstand showing shoppers how to make best use of the variety of delicious produce available. 
There will also be entertainment throughout the day from Flo the Clown, making it a really fun day out for all the family.
As well as all of that you can have a go at the competition running throughout the day. Details will be provided on the day. You could be in with a chance of winning a hamper packed with delicious local produce donated by the producers of the Farmers’ Market. It is not to be missed. 
Brigg Farmers’ Market started in June 2000, with just 15 stalls and has grown over the years to over 30 at each market. 
Go along and get to know the friendly producers and get tips on how to make delicious meals and snacks with the range of food on offer.
