Make and prepare
Choose an idea you enjoy. Think about the materials, the time involved and how you would present it on a stall.
Make it. Share it. Learn from it.
Big ideas start with small stalls.
A first idea. A handmade creation. A chance to have a go. Creative Kids Market introduces young people to making, selling and saving with encouragement from the local community.
Next market details are still to be announced. Parents and guardians can contact the team to ask about taking part.

Small stalls, useful skills
Room to try something of your own
Preparing for a market can be a practical way to explore an idea together. Start small and focus on what you can learn.
Talk and share
Practise explaining what you have made, listening to questions and helping someone choose.
Plan and reflect
Write down your costs and think about a savings goal. Afterward, talk about what you would keep or change.
For young stallholders
Start with an idea and a conversation
The programme welcomes creative young people up to age 18. A parent or guardian should contact the team about current participation arrangements.
Tell us about your idea
Share a short description of what you would like to make or sell. You do not need to send children’s personal details in an initial general enquiry.
Check the practical details
Ask about applications, costs, stall space, approved products and adult supervision. Confirm the requirements before buying materials or making stock.
Prepare for the confirmed date
Once the team has confirmed a place and the event details, plan your display, transport and what you will need to bring.
Learning with local encouragement
Support from people who have been there
The market brings young makers into contact with local business mentors and a Community Bank savings supporter.
An encouraging conversation can help a young person ask questions, think through an idea and learn from experience.
Interested in being a mentor or supporting the programme? Tell the team about the experience or practical help you could offer.

What should I include in an enquiry?
