DELICIOUS FOOD ON OFFER AT THE BRIGG SUMMER FOOD FESTIVAL

FROM NORTH LINCOLNSHIRE COUNCIL

It’s that time of year again when the Summer Food Festival returns to Brigg as part of the ever popular Farmers’ Market on Saturday 24 August.
There will be food galore at the festival with the usual great food on offer at the Farmers’ Market and additional stalls along Wrawby Street. It will be a fantastic street market in the centre of the historic market town.
The Food Festivals in Brigg are always very popular with local people as well as visitors from surrounding areas.
Discover a range of locally sourced produce on offer that you can try before you buy.
Take part in a competition where you will put a number of items available at the market in order of weight to be in with a chance of winning a hamper full of tasty local food.
Local chef, Nigel Brown will be presenting two cookery demonstrations in the bandstand, showing shoppers how to make the best use of some of the produce available to buy at the market. You will also be able to get some useful cookery hints and tips.
There will be entertainment throughout the day, with everything from accordionist, Hugh Barwell to children’s activities ran by the Ropewalk in Barton.
Brigg Farmers’ Market is widely considered to be one of the best in the country and in 2009 was voted the Best Rural Farmers’ Market.
The market started in June 2000 with just 14 stalls, now with over 30 stalls each month – the market has grown not only in size but popularity.
Coun Liz Redfern, Leader of North Lincolnshire Council, said: “The atmosphere at Brigg Food Festivals is always wonderful, and they seem to get more and more popular each time. There is such a wide variety of local produce on offer that you are spoilt for choice – pop along and find out for yourself. It is set to be a great day out that all the family will enjoy.”
