We think there would be good support within the town from folk looking to pick up a bargain.
Possible venues include the refurbished Church Hall on Bigby Street (pictured above) and the Angel Suite.
Or how about reintroducing the popular charity market, whose stalls attracted so many customers long ago?
Meanwhile, there's an opportunity to make a shortish drive to visit an established table top sale.

The Barrow event, Nige, seems to be a doctored car boot sale....but there's nothing stopping Brigg having a 'boot sale', which also includes charity stalls.
Using the market stalls in Brigg may seem a little formalised and somewhat expensive.....is there another site at which a typical car boot sale be organised.....the Vale (Redcombe Lane) sports field?
This type of event, I suggest, would be a much bigger attraction than a range of charity stalls competing with each other in the Market Place. A win-win situation, perhaps?
Scawby Hall Park?
Hibaldstow playing fields?
.....ironically, Brigg is so restricted that it doesn't seem to have an extensive site to really cater for such event....
Market area at Brigg Station is covered, plenty of free parking
there was a car boot at the bottom of station road which was popular ran by the same people at glandford park the were stopped by nth lncs as they didn't have planning permission.
a new one there is a non starter as the area is to be developed.
a car boot was started and failed at brigg town fc you can sill find posters about.
the charity stalls in the refurbished church hall all I can say is watch this space.
....Aye...but Station Road is down for redevelopment....thus, the other subsequent consequence will be the displacement of the Travellers' Horse Fair....the powers that be need to negotiate with all concerned to locate a suitable site....otherwise, the Travellers will unilaterally chose one....
