LAST weekend saw the hosting of Tavistock’s first ever Teenage Market, which was dubbed a great success by all those that participated. 

Over 20 teenagers turned up on the day, enthusiastic to host stalls and perform. 

Live acoustic guitar music was provided by the talented, self-taught Joe Crosher who sang alongside a range of stalls including Frankie Spry with her own label handmade dresses and bags, Jordan Mold with his stunning photography and the Tavistock College Apple co-operative selling delicious local apple juice. 

Despite heavy showers the market enjoyed a steady stream of customers with each stall delighted with their takings.

The market was organised by West Devon Borough Council in partnership with Tavistock Town Council and Tavistock College.

Such was the success of the event plans are already underway to host a bigger market in the autumn. To find out more visit www.teenagemarket.co.uk
