BRIGG FARMERS' MARKET: SHOPPERS SUPPORT BUSY APRIL EVENT

There was no hint of April showers spoiling this month's Brigg Farmers' Market, held in the town centre today (Saturday, April 24, 2021).
The prolonged spell of dry weather continued and was a factor in helping to attract many shoppers from the town, and elsewhere, to the stalls.
People were able to stock up on cheese, bread, cakes, locally-brewed bottled beer and many other items.
The Saturday general market - again provided by North Lincolnshire Council - was also busy, with many shoppers making their way to the fruit & veg stall.
Brigg's circular bus service, operated by Hornsbys, which picks up shoppers from various housing estates, was well patronised today.

 

A talented violinist, located near the top of Cary Lane, was playing a variety of popular tunes - ranging from classical to pop  - to entertain market supporters.
We estimate that about one third of the people who were out and about in the town centre this morning opted to wear facemasks (not mandatory in the open air) as the Coronavirus emergency continues.
As ever on farmers' market Saturday, the increased footfall generated welcome trade for Brigg shops and other businesses, as people paid them a visit after taking a look at the stalls.
Stall-holders will continue to trade well into the afternoon today. So there's still time to pay a visit.
