If this is the first time you've read one of my 'Pockets of Lincolnshire Loveliness' posts, this is where i try to point a spotlight on events held in the corners of our fabulous city & county. Some are organised by volunteers, friends, schools & small organisations; and some are simply events I would love to go to. What they all have in common though, is that they are contribute to the heart and soul of our city and wider county. So if you have a fete, open garden, charity lawnmower race, shopping extravaganza or dog show that doesn’t feature on the big search engines, please do get in touch
And if you've been inspired to visit any of the events I've shared over the past couple of months, it would be great to know in the comments.

14th July - Summer Artisan Market, Stourton Woods
Sunday 14th July - If i wasn't working, i'd definitely be going to this at Stourton Woods, a peaceful, woodland idyll, near Baumber. The Lincolnshire Makers' Summer Artisan Market will showcase a huge range of products - from local art to accessories, meat to macarons, fudge to florists, candles to cheese, and much, much more! There will also be guided safari's throughout the day on the Stourton Estate, travelling through the parkland where the Stourton red deers graze. These do need to be booked in advance, and as well as getting to see part of the Lincolnshire countryside you don't normally have access to, they're also really interesting and informative tours (I was lucky enough to go on one last year)

Sunday 21st July - Located at The Lincolnshire Showground and organised by Arthur Swallow Fairs, this is a vibrant indoor Sunday market ideal for seeking out cool one-off pieces for the home as well as interesting collectables and surprise finds, from homewares, textiles, fashion, jewellery, art and much, much more.
