“I’ve had a fantastic time and Horncastle is a brilliant place with some wonderful people.
“I just hope the market survives because it is tough for a lot of traders these days.
“I’ve seen a lot of changes in the 30 years, especially recently. You can buy cards over the internet but I still think people want a traditional service.”
Mr Grant added he will also miss the friendships he’s built up with many other regular traders, although he plans to keep in touch.
