Food and Gift Fair 2022
Lincolnshire Showground hosted the Food and Gift Fair for its 21st year at the end of November.
The event marks a bumper start to the Christmas period and welcomed more than 8,000 visitors through the doors of the EPIC and EXPO Centres.
The two-day Christmas themed fair is one of the biggest food festivals in the country, welcoming more than 120 food, gift and craft exhibitors as well as demonstrations by top local chefs and producers and performances from choir groups.
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.
