Warning over bogus market stalls
Christmas market
The market has hundreds of official stalls
Visitors to Lincoln's Christmas Market are being told to avoid rogue traders and buy from official stall holders.

Trading standards and environmental health said buying goods from unlicensed traders was risky as they may not have been properly checked.

City council officers said all official traders will have a number which they must put on the front of the stall.

The market will run from Thursday until Sunday and more than 160,000 visitors are expected.
