Visit North Lincolnshire

It is the 200th anniversary of Brigg's wonderful Buttercross this month.
To mark the occasion, Brigg Town Council has organised a special dinner in the Buttercross room on Friday June 28, with music from Folklincs and the pupils of Sir John Nelthorpe School.
All Briggensians are invited, tickets are £20 and available from Brigg Heritage Centre or the Tourist Information Centre.

Don't forget you can buy your Lincolnshire show tickets from Brigg Tourist Information and Waters' Edge Visitor Centre at a special price of £21 per adult (£25 on the day), £17 for 17-22 year olds (not available on the day), £6 per child (£8 on the day) and £44 for a family of two adults and three children (£52 on the day). Plus there is no booking fee!
The show is on June 19 & 20 at Lincolnshire Showground.

It's time to grab a bargain at Brigg Tourist Information Centre.
We are short of space so selling off some old stock - the perfect chance to find an unusual gift or fascinating book.
Pop into the shop at the Buttercross, Brigg Market Place, to see what is on offer. We're open between 10am and 4pm Monday to Friday and 10am - 3pm on Saturdays.
... And don't forget - it is never too early to start Christmas shopping! ☃️🎄🎁

Country fair season is well and truly upon us!
The picturesque village of Appleby is the venue for Appleby Country Fair on June 16.
All money raised goes towards the upkeep of the village's historic village hall, which was once the schoolroom.

What better way to spend a summer evening than running around the lovely grounds of Normanby Park - and all for charity?
The 5K Race For Life starts at 7pm tonight (Wednesday) in front of Normanby Hall, and money rasied goes to Cancer Research.

Incredible pictures - another reason (not that you need one) to visit Hatfiled and Crowle Moors. And as this is Volunteering Week why not sign up and offer your skills?

🐴🐴 Messingham Shows all set and ready for gates opening tomorrow at 9am 🐴🐴
👇👇👇👇👇

This weekend is the last chance to see Agitated Presence, an exhibition featuring the work of six different painters, at the Ropewalk in Barton.
The artists are all from Hull or East Yorkshire and their work involves the the use of photography or computer software.
This can be in the organisation of the idea, the capture and use of images or in the creation of the artwork itself.
... What all the painters do have in common is the 'agitation' to produce something that has a presence.
The exhibition, at the Ropewalk on Maltkiln Lane, Barton, DN18 5JT, closes on June 2.
