Festive Weekends at Dickens House Museum, Broadstairs

Young entrepreneurs from across Thanet, aged 8 to 24, turning their hobbies into cash at The Centre in Margate

11am - 5.30pm

Good news for young entrepreneurs! The Teenage Market is returning to Thanet, with all the trimmings!

There’ll also be a performance space on the big day, with talented young performers bringing the vibes with music, dance, comedy, poetry and more.

The Teenage Market is a fast-growing national initiative that's transforming town and city centres with the creativity of young people

The Teenage Market gives young people a free platform to showcase their creative talents. It’s all about supporting the next generation of market traders and bringing an influx of energy, vibrancy and diversity to towns across the UK. Events are the perfect opportunity for markets to connect with their town’s population of young people, by providing a platform for them to be entrepreneurial, trial new business ideas and sell creative products.

As well as a creative retail offer, a really important part of Teenage Market events is performance. Whether it's young bands, dancers, musicians or stand-up comedians, events are an amazing opportunity for young performers to showcase their creative talents in the heart of their town or city. The events are also great for large, local community groups to showcase their unique skills and talents, who also bring along friends and family for support.

When combined, the creative fusion of specialist retail and live performance creates a thriving and bustling marketplace which succeeds in attracting a new generation of shoppers and visitors to our nation's local markets. Teenage Market events have proven that giving a free platform to aspiring young entrepreneurs and performers can transform our town and city centres, animate our high streets and revitalise our local markets.

We’re looking for performers and stall holders aged between 8-24... click here to apply
