UPDATE ON APRIL'S BRIGG FARMERS' MARKET TO BE HELD THIS WEEKEND


North Lincolnshire Council has provided us with further information about Brigg Farmers' Market to be held on Saturday (April 24).
This will be the first of these monthly events to be held in the town centre since the Government changed its advice to the public from 'Stay Home' to 'Stay Local'.
A spokesman for the local authority told Brigg Blog: "We have a hand sanitiser station in the bandstand and social distance markings on the floor to assist both customers and traders.
"All traders have also completed a Covid-19 risk assessment which they have submitted to the Council which demonstrates that they will operate safely."
If the spell of fine weather continues until Saturday, a sizeable attendance is expected as shoppers head for the stalls between 8.30am and mid-afternoon. The Saturday general market, also organised by the council, will operate at the same time. Read more about this Saturday's farmers' market here...
