Meeting Point / Venue
Spilsby is a market town and civil parish in Lincolnshire. The town has been a rural market town for over seven hundred years and has changed little in size or character since the beginning of the 19th century, retaining much of its Victorian charm. The town centre features a range of small supermarkets, banks, traditional newsagents, baker, butchers and clothing stores together with several cafes and fast food takeaways.
At the centre of town is an open square or traditional market place, from which the four main town streets radiate. Markets take place on a Monday. Spilsby is located within a predominantly agricultural area and much of the market produce consists of locally grown vegetables and meat.
