The popular Teenage Market, made up of young entrepreneurs from the local area, is returning to Carlisle for Christmas.

The event will take place within The Lanes Shopping Centre, on Saturday, December 2.

Supported by the High Street Taskforce and Cumberland Council, it’ll be the third time the Teenage Market is held in the city.

The market will be open between 10.30am and 3.30pm.

The Teenage Market is a fast-growing nationwide initiative set up by teenage brothers Joe and Tom Barratt in Stockport to transform our town and city centres with the creativity of young people. Supporters of The Teenage Market include businessman Theo Paphitis, designer

Wayne Hemingway and retail guru Mary Portas, who described the initiative as being "innovative and inspiring."

The Teenage Market offers young people aged between 8 and 25 years old the opportunity to gain experience in selling and marketing their own products.

Young performers can also have the chance to take part in the day with performance opportunities within The Lanes Shopping Centre.
