Twenty budding Sefton entrepreneurs were among 30 stallholders at the recent Teen Market held at Bootle’s’ Salt and Tar venue.

Creative socks, homeware, jewellery, sports cookies, sportswear and even tarot cards were among the products on sale at the market which was entirely run by young people.

Creative talents

The event, took place on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th July, was organised with The Teenage Market, an organisation that gives young people a free platform to showcase their creative talents.

Salt and Tar was open for the Teenage Market from 12 noon to 6pm on both days as part of the venue’s latest family weekend. As well as market stalls, local performers and popular food outlets including The Bus Yard and Tipple n Cheese were there. Lock and Quay returned for the weekend offering local cask ales, while The Cocktail Apothacarium had plenty of fresh cocktails. And Ginger Cat Coffee returned, alongside C&C Cakes.
