A Christmas market made up of young traders will be held in Carlisle.

Carlisle's Teenage Market, a partnership between Cumberland Council and The Lanes Shopping Centre, will take place on November 23 between 10am and 3pm.

The market will offer shoppers the chance to buy unique, locally made Christmas gifts and enjoy live entertainment from young performers.

All stalls were booked within 24 hours of the event being advertised.

This will be the seventh Teenage Market in Carlisle since the first event in April 2023.

Councillor Anne Quilter, executive member for vibrant and healthy places at Cumberland Council, said: “I am delighted that the Christmas Teenage Market is being held once again and that we are continuing support this fantastic initiative.

"Taking part in the Teenage Market provides our young people with a wonderful opportunity to develop so many life skills as well as real life experience of running their own business."

Susan Young, manager of The Lanes Shopping Centre, said: "We are delighted to be able to host the Christmas Teenage Market in The Lanes again this year through our ‘Community at The Lanes’ programme.

"It is fantastic to see so many young people beginning their careers in retail through taking part in the Teenage Market and we are thrilled to be able to support them in this journey."

Michelle Nichols-Davis, whose son Max has attended many of the previous markets, said: "The sense of belonging to the Teenage Market and the friends my child has made since joining has been great as being newcomers to the area, it has really helped my child to settle in and encourage them creatively."
