An indoor summer market with more than 100 stalls attracted around 3,000 visitors.
Lincolnshire Makers Market, organised by Jodie Mason, at Springfields Events and Conference Centre, Spalding was well-attended and is the first summer event at the venue.
She said: “I think it's really important to give local businesses a showcase for their products.

“It is important for people to come out and see the talent in the area because there is so much of it and so much variety for crafts and makers throughout the county.
“We have had really good feedback from both visitors and exhibitors who follow us round all of our events.”
Ms Mason, who has a background in events organising and is the owner of Lincolnshire Honey understands the need to bring together craft makers to sell their items.

“There will also be farm safaris so visitors can see the red deer, play lawn games and walk around the estate.
