Market Rasen plans for return of food festival this Easter

After last year’s success, Market Rasen’s Food and Drink Festival returns on Easter Saturday this year.

The event has been created from a partnership involving the Advocate Arms, Heneage Arms, and Market Rasen Town Council.

Matt Horsefield, head chef and proprietor of the Advocate Arms and Heneage Arms is a great advocate of the event’s return. He said: “We are really looking forward to this event, we are hoping for the same level of attendance as last year, if not more! We would love for this to be a regular event, but that all depends on good attendance at this one. We are hoping it grows bigger and bigger, bringing more people into our town.”

Featuring a diverse array of vendors showcasing the finest culinary creations, from artisan cheese traders to street food, including footlong fries and Lincolnshire produced ice cream, the event promises to tantalise taste buds and satisfy cravings.

West Lindsey District Councillor Stephen Bunney said: “I am thrilled to once again see this event return to Market Rasen bringing food lovers together in celebration. This year’s festival promises to be the most exciting yet and I am pleased it has been supported by funding from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

“Visitors will be entertained with live music from ‘Girls Gone Rockin’. There will also be a face painter and a wonderful Easter Egg Trail for families to take part in. So don’t miss out on this fantastic event and put the date in your diary now.”

The event happens in the Market Place in Market Rasen from 10am to 4pm on Easter Saturday.
