Wolverhampton will host the first ever Teenage Market in the West Midlands and organisers are on the look-out for young entrepreneurs and performers.

The event will be free and the city council, which is backing the idea, wants to support young talent and budding future entrepreneurs from the city and the wider region. Dermot McGillicuddy from LSD Promotions who provide specialist markets for the city said “We are very proud to be involved in the Teenage market which we believe is a first class opportunity for unknown creative talent to be introduced to an audience.”

Emma Harrison, from New Generation Events in Wolverhampton – who are one of the sponsors of the teenage market – said: “On Saturday May 17, between 9am and 5pm, Wolverhampton will see a full day of exciting business ideas, energy and entertainment.

“With a variety of stalls, innovative ideas, food and activities for all ages to enjoy. It is a great opportunity for all to come along, show support and be a part of the creative fun”

Kim Gilmour, Operations Director at WV One, said: ““WV One and Wolverhampton BID are delighted to see this initiative come to the city centre. “We know from our research that visitors want more specialist markets and this event has the added bonus of street performances and supporting young people.”
