Don't worry about not speaking the lingo, there's a chance to bring back great holiday memories or simply revel in a taste of Europe, next month.

Lincoln BIG is welcoming the return of a popular Continental Market, which will be open for business from Friday, March 4 to Sunday, March 6.

Stalls will be laden down with mouthwatering foods and unusual crafts from countries including France, Germany, Holland, Spain, Italy and Poland and other European destinations. 

People can browse, shop and share a joke with the traders between 9am and 5.30pm, on the Friday and Saturday - and between 10am and 4pm on the Sunday. 

Lincoln BIG events and promotions manager Michael Armstrong said: "The market will feature stalls selling giant Bratwurst cooked on a traditional German Schewenkgrille, Spanish paella cooked by Julian Jimenez from Cordoba in Spain, crepes, specialist cheeses from France and Holland, olives, dried fruit and nuts, and there will be a great Greek delicatessen. 

"As well as the food, people will be able to choose from a wonderful selection of non-edible products, such as jewellery, pashminas, bags, belts, wooden carvings and all sorts of gifts."

Lincoln BIG has worked in partnership with Market Place (Europe) Ltd -  the brains behind the visiting market - in the past. 

Market Place director Allan Hartwell said: "We organised a number of events in Lincoln, up to a couple of years ago, including the very popular Irish Craft Market, as part of Lincoln's Flower Festival, and two continental markets - one in the city centre and the Eastern European Market around St Mark's.

"After a short break, we are absolutely delighted to have been invited back.  Lincoln is a great city and our traders receive a great welcome."

The Market is being made possible thanks to support from the European Regional Development Fund. 

The event ties in with the annual Discover Lincolnshire Weekend when tourists and local are encouraged to take a closer look at numerous county attractions, for free.
