The Young Traders Market has been organised by Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council's Business and Enterprise Team, and will run alongside Stockton's traditional Saturday market.

Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council's Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Housing, Councillor Nigel Cooke, said: "Events like Stockton Young Traders Market help to nurture entrepreneurial spirit, give the Borough's young people a flavour of what it could be like to run their own business, as well as boosting their skills and confidence. Why not show them your support on Saturday by visiting their stalls?"
