Brigg Farmers' Market is going ahead this weekend, North Lincolnshire Council has confirmed. The monthly event is to continue during the latest Coronavirus emergency lockdown and will be held on Saturday (January 23) from 9am into the afternoon.
Brigg Blog thought it best to double check in view of previous lockdown cancellations, and a spokesman for the local authority has now informed us: "The farmers' market is still going ahead for essential shopping."
Stalls forming the Saturday general market will also be in place on Saturday.
Shoppers visiting the Market Place will need to comply with social distancing, and many will elect to don masks although the event is being held in the open air (hopefully not too chilly!).
The farmers' markets were suspended for a spell during the initial lockdown last year.
However, we reported at the beginning of June 2020 that the council had restored Brigg's Thursday and Saturday general markets with immediate effect and also given the go ahead for the farmers' market to resume on Saturday, June 27 (see picture above we took that morning).
Free car parking will be available in the town this Saturday - a long-established concession from the council.
