The Blue Market, managed by Big Local Works, has partner with the National Market Traders Federation (NMTF) to host our first ever Young Traders Market (YTM). The aim of this series of YTM events is to empower young entrepreneurs aged 16-30 by providing them with a platform to showcase their talents and goods to a wider audience.
