lovebrigg!
‘lovebrigg’ is the new campaign from BTBP with support
from Brigg Town Council and North Lincs Council.
The aim is to encourage businesses and residents
to celebrate the great things about Brigg. We will be
highlighting our members’ businesses through the year
as well as highlighting community groups, charities,
or unsung heroes of our community. This marketing
campaign will be used by the North Lincs Council to
encourage new tourists to visit Brigg when they visit
Lincolnshire on their holidays. Posters and leaflets will
be distributed to all members over the next week. Please
do use #lovebrigg on your social media posts to help
spread the word!
membership list will be able to book a stall. We will be
working closely with North Lincs Council, the Lions and
Brigg Rotary as well as many others to ensure it is a
fantastic day for all. We will let you know more over the
coming weeks.
Other News
Throughout May and June we are asking you to work
with us to fill the town with flowers by using them in
your window displays. We will be running a flower trail
around Brigg similar to the Christmas Trail. This is when
the Brigg- in-Bloom team will be busy planting up new
planters and awaiting the judges’ visit!

Independents’ Fayre
Saturday 10th July will see the first Brigg Independents’
Summer Fayre. The fayre will celebrate the independent
businesses and spirit of Brigg. There will be
entertainment for young and old alike in the market
place as well as stalls in Wrawby Street for community
groups and members to use to bring their shop into the
street. No businesses from outside of the town and our
Hanging baskets will be arriving towards the end of May.
For those of you who have ordered a basket we will be
in contact to let you know the dates as soon as we get
one. All of the watering will be done by Brigg council.
BTBP is planning to resurrect its gift vouchers as prizes
for competitions. The idea is that the winner can choose
any member shop to spend their voucher in and we will
reimburse the shop they use in full.
