National Youth Market
The National Youth Market celebrates young entrepreneurs trading on our nation’s markets, festivals and fairs. Applications to trade at this year’s event open 17 May and close 30 July 2017. Click here to apply.
Are you aged 16 to 30? Have you got a great business idea? Test it out on your local market! Ask the organiser if any trading opportunities are available. You can find their contact details in our database here.
The National Youth Market is run by the NMTF in partnership with Manchester Markets.
This year, the NMTF and NABMA teamed up, too. The focus of Love Your Local Market, run by NABMA, was supporting young people.
Each market that took part in Love Your Local Market is welcome to send a Market Champion to the National Youth Market.
Are you a young person that didn’t trade during Love Your Local Market? Don’t worry – you can still apply. Click here.
