Teenage market to set up stall in three towns
The Teenage Market gives youngsters the chance to have a go at trading
- Published
A market which gives teenage traders and performers an opportunity to showcase their products and talents is coming to north Warwickshire.
The Teenage Market, which was set up by brothers Joe and Tom Barratt in Stockport in 2012, will be coming to Coleshill, Polesworth and Atherstone.
North Warwickshire Borough Council said the markets had attracted praise from big name retail experts, including Theo Paphitis and Mary Portas.
The market’s co-creator, Joe Barratt, said: “The Teenage Market really is the key to identifying a new generation of market traders by making young people an active part of our town centres.”
He added: “I’d encourage any creative young person to get involved with The Teenage Market as there are so many positive opportunities that can come out of it.”
The market is free of charge for teenagers to participate in – those interested can apply via the firm’s website.
The following dates and venues are planned for Warwickshire:
The Croft, Coleshill on Sunday 21 April
Polesworth Farmers Market on 11 May
Atherstone Big Weekender on 1 June
