There was a large attendance at Brigg Farmers' Market and the adjoining general market held yesterday - Saturday, December 19, 2020, with queuing being required at times due to the demand.
Many people wore masks amid the Coronavirus emergency, but these were not mandatory for such an open air event.
North Lincolnshire Council, as ever, arranged for the stalls to be put out and many people arrived to stock up in the run up to Christmas - items on offer including cheese, cakes, bread, meat and jam. Fine and dry weather certainly helped the turnout.
Locally-brewed bottled beer was a popular buy - market visitors taking packs for friends/relatives of just deciding to treat themselves.
A stall (pictured above) positioned near the Woolpack offered Gourmet scotch eggs - delicacies widely regarded as constituting a 'substantial meal' at present, according to some government sources!
Salvation Army members provided festive tunes from the Bandstand - the Market Place centrepiece having recently been repainted by Brigg Town Council.
An accordion player located himself near the Boots shop on Wrawby Street, offering seasonal music to entertain passers-by.
Christmas Eve this year coincides with Brigg's general Thursday market on December 24 - ideally timed to stock up on last-minute fruit, veg and other items.
