UP TO 17 STALLS TO VISIT AT THE BRIGG INDEPENDENT MARKET

An Independent Market will be held in Brigg tomorrow (Saturday, June 19) in addition to the familiar stalls selling fruit & veg, flowers and other items. Nick Webb, from the Rabbit Hole Book Shop, has kindly supplied the following details to preview the event...

We have just helped the North Lincolnshire Council market team arrange the Independent Market and hopefully they will take it forward.
There should be 17 stalls - some fairly regular to Brigg and some new.
They include Sue Hawkmoon (Hawkmoon Crafts), The Magik Shop, Eco Natural Beauty (naturally formulated beauty products), Art on a Slate (painting on reclaimed roof tiles) Tuckers Ice Cream who have developed a new ice cream for The Rabbit Hole and Alice in Wonderland /Independent Bookshop Week called "Unhappy Birthday". Other stalls are cakes, craft, decoupage.  
There will also be three authors on stalls signing copies of their books - Philippa East, Nell Pattison and Neil Foxley Johnson. Local and new publishers Final Chapter will also be there.
The market is in support of Totally Locally and its Fiver Fest which has now started its 3rd year in Brigg... and Brigg is now a Pioneer Group for the Totally Locally Project which involves over 100 towns.
We had visitors at The Rabbit Hole and Yellowbelly Pizza (on Wednesday) who had not been to Brigg for 20 years but came to see Fiver Fest after it has been on Radio Humberside quite a lot recently.
Lots is happening next week, including a visit to schools by David Ouimet from New York and a young artist from Korea is here. Only aged 10, but amazing; authors will be around and workshops and events with Hull Noir.
