TRADE AT CHALTON STREET MARKET
Residents are invited to have a go at running a market stall up to three times from 10 am-4pm for free at Chalton Street market, Wednesday to Friday. The Friday market will be enhanced with the addition of fresh fruit and vegetables as well as a section on fashion, jewellery and textiles. Thursdays will be developed as an additional low-waste market day introducing no-car boot stall sales to help you sell unwanted home items you no longer need while making a bit of extra cash.
Training opportunity
Offer is on hand to help you trade at the market to sell things you no longer need or items that you have made or up-cycled. We will also launch group purchasing reduced pricing offers through our community traders.
