Auctioneer Robert LEIVERS of Woodhall Spa (the man in the hat with his right arm raised) has an agreement with ELDC to have an auction on the site next to the Sir John Franklin Statue, Spilsby.

"This is excellent news and a good example of local Town and District Councils working together to enhance the popularity of the Spilsby Market.

Spilsby Town Council has had very meaningful discussions with representatives from ELDC regarding the future of the Spilsby Market and the return of the auction is what I believe to be the first stage of its regeneration.

The additional footfall to the auction can only have a positive 'knock on' effect for the rest of the Town and the Town Council will continue to work closely with ELDC to ensure the Market goes from strength to strength."

Michael Lenton (Mayor)

The Market charter was granted in 1302. Anything is bought and sold. Vegetables, flowers, and household goods being very popular.
