Young Entrepreneurs pop-up sale
Wednesday 2nd July 2025, 10am – 3pm
YOUNG PEOPLE FROM SOUTHWARK PUT THEIR NEW SKILLS TO USE IN SELLING SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS
A different type of trader will be operating at Borough Market on Wednesday 2nd July, as a new cohort of Southwark’s Young Entrepreneurs arrive to sell their wares.
Young people from three Southwark secondary schools participated in workshops on business and financial planning, product design and sustainability, and marketing. Applying their new knowledge, the students set up fictional companies and designed sustainable products. After a judging process, one team from each school then won the opportunity to sell to the public at the pop-up sale at Borough Market.
The students, who come from St Thomas the Apostle, Sacred Heart and University Academy Southbank, are selling chains, bracelets and crochet soft toys. All proceeds go to the teams’ chosen charities.
