Organiser, North Kesteven District Council, hopes to build on the success of last year’s event which drew nearly 4,000 visitors to the town.

Coun Marion Brighton, Leader of the Council, said: “Sleaford boasts some fantastic manufacturing businesses, many of them with hard-earned global reputations for products, quality and service.

“We hope that Made in Sleaford gives businesses a platform to show what they are all about, not only to people who live in the town but also to those who are already in business here or looking to do business here.”
