BRIGG HERITAGE CENTRE REOPENS IN TIME FOR MAY FARMERS' MARKET


Brigg Heritage Centre has now reopened following the lockdown period.
It is located in North Lincolnshire Council's Angel building, off the Market Place (lift and stairs available to access the first floor).
Opening hours are 10am to 2pm on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
So there's an opportunity for shoppers to pop in while visiting Brigg Farmers' Market today (Saturday, May 22).
In addition to permanent displays, there's an exhibition relating to the 100th anniversary of the Brownies movement.
Volunteers play a big part in operating the Heritage Centre, which was launched on June 1, 2012.
May 2013 saw the famous and showpiece prehistoric Brigg Raft - also known as the Bronze Age Brigg Boat - put back on show to the public - housed in a case in the Heritage Centre inside the Angel building, off the Market Place.
Phase Two was officially opened in November 2013 by Andrew Percy, the Brigg and Goole MP.
It featured a host of interesting local items, ranging from Brigg Grammar School uniforms of long ago to Brigg souvenirs, catalogues and pamphlets.
