Santa is coming to Lincs Food and Gift Fair

Festvie food, gifts and an exciting new Santa's Workshop will help shoppers kick off Christmas in style later this month, as the Lincolnshire Food and Gift Fair makes a welcomed return.

Taking place at the Lincolnshire Showgroundorganisers are expecting to welcome more than 8,000 festive visitors to the highly-anticipated event on November 26, and 27.

This year’s fair will have new extended hours from 9am to 4pm on both days and offers free parking for all visitors.
