A range of measures have been introduced to keep visitors safe, including one-way systems, social distancing signage and hand sanitiser on entry and exit.

Councillor Carl Sherwood, cabinet member for safer, stronger communities – rural, said: “The council’s Food Festival events are always popular with residents and with good reason; they offer a great selection of food and local produce to enjoy in our beautiful market towns.

“The pandemic has been challenging for North Lincolnshire’s independent businesses, but with restrictions lifting, this is a brilliant opportunity to get out into our community and show our support to the stallholders, enjoying a bite to eat and visiting the Epworth retailers.”
