Celebrate your local market with this year's national Love Your Local Market campaign
East Lindsey District Council's markets are once again joining other markets across the country taking part in Love Your Local Market, this national campaign led by the National Association of British Market Authorities will be celebrating the important role markets play within local communities from Friday 12th May to Saturday 27th May.
Love Your Local Market is designed to encourage new traders to give the markets a go and local communities to support their local market. So with this in mind and as part of our LYLM celebrations, East Lindsey District Council is offering new traders the opportunity of eight stalls for the price of four on the markets at Louth, Horncastle or Spilsby.
ELDC Markets Manager said "ELDC has been taking part in the Love Your Local Market campaign for many years and it's been very successful in introducing new businesses to the markets. If you have a business idea you would like to trial or already run a business and would like to try the markets as a platform please get in touch. Many of the new businesses who have taken part over the years have continued to stand on the markets as either regular or casual traders. The outlay works out relatively low at only £7.50 per stall for 8 stalls"
Edgar Viegas who began selling Portuguese food on Louth market during the Love Your Local Market campaign last year said "We started trading on a Wednesday and the stall was really popular so we stayed on the market. We have some lovely regular customers and have just opened Zara Café in Cannon Street, Louth which we hope will be just as successful"
Pop along to our ever famous markets during Love Your Local Market and see what the traders have to offer. Traders are also giving away various goodie bags. You are sure of a warm welcome and unique customer service.
The ever popular Districts Favourite Market Trader competition will take place once again as part of these celebrations with the public voting online for their favourite market trader. The winning trader will be announced in June and be awarded eight free stalls, a winner of the year stall banner and a special markets award.
