Mablethorpe Market takes place every Thursday on the High Street, with the opening times being 9am until 4pm. This is a fantastic opportunity for shoppers to buy some locally produced goods, freshly baked cakes, which are sure to satisfy even the sweetest tooth, or maybe a selection of the succulent meats on offer from the mobile butcher, who just loves to give his customers a bargain.
The local fresh produce which is in abundance at Mablethorpe Market, and is as tasty as anywhere in the country, really does deserve a special shoutout, so make sure you try some of it out. You can also take advantage of some great prices on fresh flowers if you're looking to surprise a loved one, or maybe just want to make someones day.
There's plenty of bargains to be had on clothes too.

They'll be plenty of little bits to pick up for the kids as well. So keep a look out for funky t-shirts and novelty items to put a smile on their faces.
The products on offer don't end there though. If you're an avid angler, then there's the tackle van where you can get your hooks, floats and flies. Pet's are well catered for too, so if you want a bone, some extra bedding or toys, then you'll be able to find exactly what you're looking for at Mablethorpe Market.
