This August, Brigg Farmers’ Market is celebrating its 15th anniversary in Brigg Market Place, and to mark the occasion there will be a food festival, street entertainment, competitions and cookery demonstrations.
The food festival will begin at 9am until 3pm and will be held in the Market Place, Brigg. For the street entertainment, there will be scarecrows from a company called Earthbound Misfits (11am to 1pm) and Flo the clown from 10am to 2pm.
Local Farmers’ Market favourites will be attending with all their home grown produce and delicious foods including fresh fish and meat, freshly baked cakes, homemade preserves and much more.
Cookery Demonstrations will take place throughout the event with local chef, Nigel Brown.
To celebrate the occasion visitors can take part in a special 15th anniversary competition for their chance to win a beautiful hamper provided by traders of the market. All you have to do is follow the trail of candles!

Coun Liz Redfern, Leader at north Lincolnshire Council, said: “The Brigg food festival is an excellent way to mark the 15th anniversary of the Farmers’ Market. It gives us the chance to show the wider community the fantastic range of fresh produce that we have available from several of our local farmers. It will be a fantastic event to mark something which can now be called a tradition, and I hope the markets will continue to run and unite our community for another 15 years.”
