Teenagers offered chance to become entrepreneurs

Young people are being given the chance to become entrepreneurs at a new teenage market.

It is part of a series of events organised by South Kesteven Youth Council to help bring visitors back to Grantham Market Place.

Taking place on Saturday, 31 May, people will get the opportunity to learn about market life, buying and selling their own products.

A spokesperson for the youth council said they were "looking forward to welcoming some energetic and vibrant young businesspeople".

They said: "It will give young people an opportunity to be entrepreneurial, trial new business ideas and sell their products.

"We hope the event will also encourage their friends to join in more with our local markets and learn about the process of creating, producing, buying and selling.

"Their support will help bring back a busy Market Place that appeals to the people of Grantham and further afield."

They added the event is one of a number being held to create more jobs, social spaces and bring more people into the town.

The deadline for traders to register is 10 May and people can sign up via South Kesteven District Council's website.
