Food glorious food and drink serves up glorious festival

The town centre was buzzing with locals and others who had travelled from across the county to enjoy the sights, sounds, smells and tastes of the best the county has to offer (plus a few morsels from further afield!).

Organisers from Love Louth and East Lindsey District Council thanked all those who had stands, as well as the many entertainers throughout the day.

Visiting stands included local food businesses such as Stourton estates, The Ginger Pig, SA Sauces, Sue’s World of Honey, Munyard Brewery and Marie’s jams and Chutneys.

Local businesses also did brisk trade with shops, restaurants and cafes enjoying boosted footfall from the extra shoppers and visitors.

There were food-themed street entertainers roaming around bringing fun to families including stilt-walking chefs, a balloon modeller and giant French snails.

Deckchairs were generally filled with people enjoying vocalists and musicians such as Rachel, Strubbies, Hands In Harmony and Boston Dance, as well as spots where local businesses could demonstrate and talk about their products.

As well as the established traders there were also a handful of Teenage Market stallholders plying their wares.

Traders generally felt it had been a positive day after last year’s event was affected by rain.
