Welcome return for Food & Gift Fair

Christmas got off to a bumper start when the Lincolnshire Food & Gift Fair returned to the Lincolnshire Showground. Up to 150 exhibitors and more than 8,000 visitors came through the doors on the last weekend of November.

Festive cheer was in plentiful supply with the opportunity for a Meet & Greet with Santa plus choirs and band providing the background entertainment. Local suppliers were present, offering everything from speciality cheese to wine, to famous Lincolnshire sausages and locally distilled gin, as well as beautiful decorations and one-of-a-kind gifts.

Jayne Southall, CEO of the Lincolnshire Showground, said: “Christmas is such a special time for the whole family – we’re so happy to make this magical time come to life once more.

“The Food & Gift Fair is an event for the whole family. It suits all tastes and all ages, and we are extremely proud to welcome so many local visitors and exhibitors once again to celebrate the very best that Lincolnshire has to offer.”
