Quarterly youth markets and bi-annual Artisan markets, giving young people the chance to take their first steps into business, and talented individuals the opportunity to promote themselves and their skills or goods, whether they are artists, crafters, country skills or food and drink.

What we'll deliver:

• Costs for staff, hire charges, insurance etc.
• Marketing for the events
• Purchase of marquees and equipment

Why it's a great idea:

To give young people access to try out ideas, to give them a focus and for talented young people to express themselves and real world experience. And for artisans the chance to show their local communities what they can do and hopefully the chance to turn their hobbies into their careers.

Steps to get it done:

• Promotion of the marketsame in media and to schools/colleges

These additional specialist markets will help support a rural area and many small, local independent businesses.
