Photos from Grantham Mid-Lent Fair’s opening night




There were smiles all around when a fair rolled into town at the weekend.

Dozens of rides, games, and stalls selling snacks and toys sprang into life in Grantham yesterday (Sunday).

The ringing of a bell at the dodgems marked the official start to the fair, which spans across Market Place, Conduit Lane, Union Street, Narrow and Wide Westgate, Welby Street and part of Guildhall Street.
