MAGNA CARTA 800 ANNIVERSARY YEAR - FOR FOODIES

Lincolnshire has a unique opportunity in 2015 to raise the profile of the county and businesses within it - as it is the 800th Anniversary of the 1215 Lincoln King John Magna Carta. This UNESCO World Heritage status document will be on display in the new subterranean vault at Lincoln Castle from 1st April. We are using this as a significant hook to promote Lincoln & the county and encourage more visitors to the area.

GET INVOLVED - We'd love to see businesses from across the county get involved in the Magna Carta Anniversary year by tailoring your product. Batemans Brewery will be launching a 'Law of The Land' beer ;Can you get creative and offer a Magna Carta 'special' - it could be a King John Cocktail, a Magna Carta Menu or a Hamper fit for the King!

You can find more about the anniversary celebrations here http://www.visitlincoln.com/magnacarta

If you want to take part, please let us know what you will be offering and we will promote it on our websites and when we have media visits - and you can also use the official Lincoln Magna Carta 800 logo.

STALLS AVAILABLE AT DISCOVER LINCOLNSHIRE WEEKEND

In collaboration with Lincoln BIG you are invited to take part in ‘Discover Lincolnshire Markets 2015’. This will be over the upcoming Discover Lincolnshire Weekend, Saturday 28th & Sunday 29th March from 10am to 4pm daily.

It will encompass Lincolnshire producers including Farmers Markets, Craft Markets, Select Lincolnshire and Artists Markets but will be run as one large event on a similar scale and layout to the Lincoln BIG Continental Markets using Lincoln High Street, Cornhill and down the side of WH Smith, with up to 50 stall spaces.

There will be opportunity for stallholders to hire a space for one or both days, although we would prefer both days for continuity for customers. For those who do not have their own stall, we have a contractor who will put our standard market stalls up for a charge.

This event will be marketed as part of the Discover Lincolnshire Weekend publicity.

Due to the interest we've had so far, stalls will be allocated on a first come – first served basis so please ensure that you register your interest at the earliest opportunity.

If the event is successful we hope to repeat this later in the year as part of some larger events.

Select member price will be £50 plus VAT for the weekend or £35 plus VAT per day for a 3m x 3m sq pitch.

If you require a stall or a larger space please let us know.

Please contact gillian.richardson@lincs-chamber.co.uk to register and arrange an application form.
