People dropped into to join in free seasonal craft activities, garden games and follow an Easter Trail to collect chocolates and sweets.
There were also stalls by local crafters and traders, food and drink, and a Teenage Market of young entrepreneurs.
Garden games included hula hoops, hop scotch and skipping ropes, and a fun inflatable Easter egg for photo opportunities (made by Sleaford-based Glow Inflatables).
People followed the Easter Trail to collect lettered stamps from surrounding businesses.
Stalls featured local businesses and community groups, including Heart of Lincs, Mrs Smith’s Cottage and Sleaford Climate Action Network.
