Lincolnshire Co-op To Host Christmas Market featuring Local Suppliers
Lincolnshire Co-op organises an upcoming Christmas market, intending to draw both members and locals alike with the promise of festive shopping and community spirit. Slated for Tuesday, December 12, the market features 20 local suppliers running stalls at the Lincolnshire Showground. Notable local producers to look out for include The Lincoln Distillery, Pipers Crisps, Lincolnshire Poacher Cheese, and No.12 Chocolatier.
Opportunity for Local Businesses
Shopkeepers, excited about this opportunity, eagerly prepare for the market. "We’re really excited to showcase our wide range of products at Lincolnshire Co-op’s Christmas Market, it's fantastic to have the opportunity to connect with the community at a festive event," said Paul North, owner of No.12 Chocolatier in Kirton in Lindsey. He further added, "Christmas is a time of indulgence, and we love helping customers find the perfect treat, whether they choose to gift it to a loved one or enjoy it for themselves."
Festive Shopping and More
Apart from shopping, the market runs in partnership with the society's Annual Members' Meeting at the Epic Centre. Members of Lincolnshire Co-op are specifically invited to attend the event, which opens for browsing from 4pm onwards. At the conference centre, there will be stands representing each of Lincolnshire Co-op’s business areas, including food, pharmacy, funerals, travel, and post office. Members planning to attend need to secure a free booking, both for the in person or online event.
A Special Treat for Attendees
To wrap up the occasion, attendees stepping into the Annual Members’ meeting at 7pm will receive a £5 dividend. The organisers also have planned a carol singing session by Scunthorpe Co-op Junior Choir at 6.30pm. Michelle Dart, Membership Co-ordinator at Lincolnshire Co-op, reinforces, "We anticipate for this year’s meeting to be our biggest one yet. We have a fantastic range of local businesses planning to attend. As well as offering a festive feel, our online and in person event presents a fantastic opportunity to connect with our members and answer their questions."
