As well as the stalls, there are children’s activities in Santa’s Workshop, and The Lincolnshire kitchen with top chefs and producers sharing their tops tip, including Fiona Lucas from Lincolnshire Cookery School and Anis Falina from Makan Bites.

There will also be live performances from a number of talented local choirs, while there will also be various delicious hot food stands.

Artistic and creative products will be available and at stalls including Art Monster Studios, The March hare and Vivified Ceramics.

Foodies can look out for businesses including Tiffin & Co Bakehouse, Oh La La Fries, Fudged Up, and The Oink Company.

The famous Santa’s Workshop area will be ready to provide hours of free entertainment, including new additions – interactive Christmas sessions provided by Debutots and cake decorating hosted by The Back Garden Gallery.

Santa’s Baking House features cookery workshops from Treats, Sweets & Eats, 42nd East Bakehouse and Riseholme College.

Visitors are also asked to bring an unwrapped toy or gift and place it in the provided Santa’s sack, all of which will be donated to the Bridge Church to support the local community this Christmas.
