Second Loughborough KickStart Market takes place this weekend

"The pilot event proved to be a great success and, this time, we are opening it up to adults of all ages to enable more people to get involved."

Anyone interested in becoming a market trader or running a stall to support their new business can sign up, as well as students who want to sell items, display their work or get feedback on their business ideas.

Alongside the market stalls, there will be a range of food outlets and entertainment, including live music.

Cllr Jennifer Tillotson, lead member for economic development, regeneration and town centres at Charnwood Borough Council, said: “We are delighted to offer budding market traders and entrepreneurs in Charnwood another chance to get involved in Loughborough KickStart Market.

“The pilot event proved to be a great success and, this time, we are opening it up to adults of all ages to enable more people to get involved.

“If you run a small business with an online presence and want a chance to sell your products face to face or wish to promote the services that your business offers, please get in touch and sign up.

“We also want to hear from you if you are interested in providing entertainment at the event.”

KickStart Market stalls will be free of charge on the day, but spaces must be booked in advance.

The Council has arranged public liability insurance for the traders. Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
