With more than 150 stalls selling everything from baubles to beer, live performances by local choirs and festive fun for the kids, it’s a day out for the whole family to enjoy.

As well as the opportunity to buy some unique gifts ahead of the big day, visitors who have booked onto one of the Adult Festive Workshops will be able to make their own Christmas wreath, door swag or table decoration with expert tuition from the Lincolnshire Co-op floristry team.

For the younger visitors, Santa Claus will be stopping by to read a Christmas-themed story and hand out presents to the children as part of the Storytime with Santa experience which is new for this year and includes milk and cookies.

The Great British Bake-off contestant Sandy Docherty will also be making an appearance, along with Dominic Franks of Dom in the Kitchen fame and other well known local chefs in the Lincolnshire Kitchen.

Children will be able to bake their own tasty treats and have a go at Christmas arts and crafts in Santa’s Workshop and Bakehouse.
