Lincoln shall once again be playing host to the once-annual Continental Market in March.
After a short break, the market will be returning with foods and crafts from France, Germany, Holland, Spain and many other European countries.
The market will take place from March 4 to 6 in the city centre and St Marks, from 9am to 5.30pm on Friday and Saturday, and 10am to 4pm on Sunday.
Lincoln BIG events and promotions manager Michael Armstrong thinks it’s a great place to pick up gifts for people.
“The market will feature stalls selling giant Bratwurst cooked on a traditional German Schewenkgrille, Spanish paella cooked by Julian Jimenez from Cordoba in Spain, crepes, specialist cheeses from France and Holland, olives, dried fruit and nuts, and there will be a great Greek delicatessen.
“As well as the food, people will be able to choose from a wonderful selection of non-edible products, such as jewellery, pashminas, bags, belts, wooden carvings and all sorts of gifts.”

Residents of Langworth, West Lindsey, continue to grapple with the aftermath of last month’s flood, which has left some without a place to stay and forced many to discard a significant amount of their possessions.
Several locals have resorted to hiring skips to dispose of damp and damaged belongings in the wake of the flood that struck on October 20, due to intense rainfall from Storm Babet.
A bid to hold a £1.3 million referendum on the Greater Lincolnshire devolution deal was rejected by county councillors, who voted to progress a deal for electing a mayor for the area.
Instead, a public consultation will be held across the region, involving residents filling in a feedback form and submitting it. The new mayoral combined authority setup will bring more control over government funding and powers around housing, job creation, and public transport, including buses.
