Other producers attending the new-look market will include Good With Wood, Jane Lee Art, Special Edition Chocolate, The Little Cottage Candle Co and With Love From Lincolnshire.

The town’s regular weekly market continues to take place every Tuesday and Saturday as normal.

Ady Selby, from West Lindsey District Council, added: “Our markets are an asset to the town and it’s great to be working in partnership to build on the success of the monthly market.

“This will help create better connectivity between the Market Place, The Roseway Quarter, the Lidl store and Marshall’s Yard.”

Market Street has undergone a major programme of investment in recent months, including the new Travelodge Hotel, Roseway Car Park and a programme of shop front improvements.
