Co-creator of The Teenage Market, Joe Barratt, said “The Teenage Market really is the key to identifying a new generation of market traders by making young people an active part of our town centres.”
“We are delighted that North Warwickshire Borough Council is giving young people a free platform to get their businesses off the ground and showcase their creative talents.”
