For the benefit of people reading this post who might not yet have visited our farmers' market, they all run from 9.30am to about 3.30pm and are held in the town centre. Plenty of car parking is available nearby. Or if you live near the Sheffield to Cleethorpes railway line, including Grimsby, Retford and Gainsborough, why not take one of the Saturday trains that call at Brigg station?
