Saturday, November 14th11am – 1pm

A market run entirely by young people. They bring what they've made, grown or raised — or a service they can offer — they set their own prices, they do the selling, and every dollar they take goes home with them.

How it works

Send us the form

A parent or guardian fills it in — or the young vendor themselves if they're 18. Tell us what they'll be selling and roughly what it'll cost.

We'll be in touch

Within a couple of weeks. Come into the shop to sign the contract — and pay the table fee then, if you didn't pay by card when you applied. Both need doing by Thursday, November 5th.

They keep every dollar

Check in and set up between 8 and 9 on the morning. The shop takes no cut of anything a young vendor sells — bring change, bring a grown-up, and bring plenty to sell.
