Spanning eleven regions across the UK, the Young Traders Market initiative continues to grow, providing a vital platform for young entrepreneurs while revitalising markets and bringing fresh ideas into the industry; from more than 1,000 applicants trading at over 70 local events and eleven regional finals, 94 young traders secured a place in the national final in Stratford-Upon-Avon, and many can now be found trading regularly at markets nationwide.
Looking ahead to 2026, the campaign offers even more opportunities for young traders to get involved and make their mark.
WSEM are proud to participate and provide pitches for our local young traders.
