YOUNG people are being encouraged to apply for the Wirral Youth Market 2025.

The event, open to those aged 29 and under, gives young people a free platform to showcase their products or services within the local community.

The event, which will take place at Birkenhead Market on March 15, is open to young people of all levels of experience, from those wanting to test the water with a new product idea to those who have already started to build established businesses.

It will run from 10am until 4pm.

The next event offers an ideal free opportunity for makers and young founders to test their ideas with the public.

It will look to build on the success of the previous two Wirral Youth Markets at the Cherry Tree Centre in Liscard and New Brighton’s Victoria Quarter, which attracted more than 3,500 and 5,000 visitors respectively.

"The last two events attracted over 8,500 people between them, so there’s huge potential to get exposure and hear valuable feedback from customers.

"And we know it works, as several businesses that started at Youth Market are now growing enterprises.

"I’d really encourage as many local young people as possible to sign up and use this as a platform to get their business idea off the ground in 2025."

It is free to apply for a pitch at the market, and tables, chairs and covers will also be provided.

Applications are also encouraged from performers who would like to showcase their talent during the event, such as musicians, dance groups or choirs.
