In case you missed our earlier post (link here) there's a Brigg Independent Market being held today (Saturday, June 19) in the Market Place, with 17 stalls expected to operate.
Meanwhile, North Lincolnshire Council, as the local markets authority, has produced some new roadside banners (example above) displayed near the A18 to help with marketing and publicity - a welcome move.
Headlining within the banners are the social media hashtags #ShopLocal and #ShopSafe
General market stalls, including fruit & veg, will still be operating today.
The 'Indie' market should help to attract many additional Saturday visitors to Brigg today, with free car parking available as a council concession.
Established in 2000, the monthly Brigg Farmers' Market is always a major draw, but the town would certainly benefit from having something extra to offer shoppers on the other three Saturdays. So this weekend's Indie event is very welcome.
Various town centre businesses are currently involved in a value-for-money Brigg Fiver Fest with some fine offers and special promotions available to customers who support this low cost initiative which will continue until June 26.
The Fest involves many shops and eateries. Look out for window posters giving details.
The campaigning Independent Brigg Line Rail Group kindly shared our initial post yesterday about the Indie Market, bringing it to the attention of people living in Sheffield, Worksop, Retford, Gainsborough, Grimsby and Cleethorpes who might like to board a train to Brigg today to visit our community event.
