We piloted a brand new market in May.
Loughborough KickStart Market provided a place for young new traders and entrepreneurs.
It was for people aged 16-30, who live or study in Charnwood, and are interested in either becoming a market trader or trying out running a market stall to support their new business. Students were also encouraged to take a stall to sell wares or display their work.
The pilot market took place on Sunday May 26 between 10am-4pm, in Loughborough Market Place.
The pilot was run by the markets team at the Council.
Alongside a small number of market stalls, Loughborough KickStart Market also hosted a range of food outlets and entertainment including live music.
The markets team arranged public liability insurance for young traders. Anyone under 18 had to be accompanied by an adult.
The Council promoted the event to attract people along, and issued this news story after the event.
It is hoped that further markets of its kind may be held in the future.
