20TH ANNIVERSARY BRIGG FARMERS' MARKET - REPORT & PICTURES


Decent summer weather was enjoyed by North Lincolnshire Council's 20th anniversary Brigg Farmers' Market in the town centre on Saturday (July 25) from early morning until 2pm when a sharp shower intervened before the sun reappeared.
For the most part it was warm with a welcome breeze taking the edge off the temperature.
The attendance was a little below what we expected to see for this monthly showpiece; perhaps some people remain reluctant to venture out because of Coronavirus emergency concerns.
 


However, those who did support the event enjoyed the gentle music provided from the Bandstand by Irish folk musician, Meabh, pictured above, as they went about their shopping.
Stalls were spread across the Market Place and midway along the pedestrianised part of Wrawby Street - goods on offer including jam, locally-brewed bottled beer, cheese, cakes, pies, bread and meat. A hog roast catered for visitors seeking a fast food top-up.
Most of the people in the town centre for the market also called at shops and other business premises, helping put cash into the local economy.
Our award-winning farmers' market was first held in late July 2000.

These pictures were taken mid-morning yesterday.
