Melton’s first-ever Teenage Market was held in the Market Place in September. It was organised by the Melton Business Improvement District (BID) in partnership with Melton Council as a way of giving young entrepreneurs and performers a prominent stage to show off their creative talents and to help get their businesses off the ground.

Last year’s event featured bands, solo singers and musical groups as a variety of stalls selling home-made products such as gifts, jewellery, cards, toiletries and clothing.
