The market will host bakers, crafters and artists.

Each young person will have their own marquee tent stall outside of the Wool Market.

Leah Bakes is another trader who will be at the event.

Bethan created Paint By B and will be showcasing her original artwork.

“Doncaster has so many talented traders,” she continued.

“Seeing everyone together after such a rubbish year is going to be great.

“It feels like a real positive step towards supporting the younger generation and their businesses.”

For many of the young people involved, social media and the internet have played a huge role in their success.

Bethan said that they hope this event will expose their work to a real world audience that hasn’t been possible during the pandemic.

All of the businesses involved have the chance to be nominated through to the Young Traders Market Regional Final, in collaboration with the NMTF.
