Giants from all around the country did battle in two categories - open and under 105kg, and visitors enjoyed a whole host of rides, stalls and entertainment for the whole family to enjoy.

The event was held in aid of Lindsey Lodge Hospice, by Scunthorpe-based strong man Richard Cowling, in memory of his sister, Laura Cowling, who passed away there four years ago.
