Wakefield Young Trader Market
Wakefield Council is hosting its first ever Young Trader Market, with all stalls being set up and run by young people aged 16-30. These young creatives and makers will be trading for the day, with business support from Wakefield First. Each of the young traders will be battling it out for a place in the Young Traders Regional Final, with the ultimate goal of reaching the national final in Stratford-upon-Avon and being crowned Young Trader of the Year 2024.
The Young Trader Market is being held in the new events space at Castleford Market and coincides with the launch of the newly refurbished Castleford Indoor Market. Improvements have been made to attract new traders and ensure that the market continues to play a significant role in the town, contributing to the local economy. By offering a programme of activities in the new events space, the influx of visitors to the market will contribute to the vibrant community atmosphere already present in the town.
Rhubarb Radio will be broadcasting from the Market all day!
