Rebrand breathes new life into Lincoln markets

The Lincoln Makers' Market builds on the success of last years Artists' and Craft Markets.

Shoppers in Lincoln are being promised an eventful 2018 thanks to changes to some of the city’s much-loved markets.

Several of the markets overseen by the Lincoln Business Improvement Group (Lincoln BIG) have been given new branding, while two others have merged.

Shoppers will still be able to find the artisan crafts they know and love, but the changes aim to introduce even more people to the items on offer.

The Lincoln Makers’ Market will sell a range of locally made, hand crafted items.
