Make it your Market!

Tuesday 19 May 2009

Huntingdonshire District Council is leading on a project with Business Link and the Huntingdon Town Partnership to promote the use of markets across the district. 

 

The ‘Make it your Market’ Programme consists of a combination of advice on how to set up your our market trader business and discounts on market stall pitches in Huntingdon, Ramsey and St Ives.

 

Anyone interested in starting a market stall business can attend a workshop, completely free of charge. The workshop will cover how to plan, structure, research and set up a market stall business including how to deal with tax, national insurance and VAT. You will also get guidance on how best to display your goods, look after your customers and find additional advice and support for your new business.

 

Participants in any one of the workshops, which will be held throughout the year, will qualify for two free and two half price pitches at certain markets in Huntingdon, Ramsey and St Ives.

 

Workshops will take place in Huntingdon on the following dates:

 

Thursday May 14th 9am-12pm
Wednesday June 17th   6-9pm

Thursday Sept 10th 6-9pm

Friday Oct 2nd 9am-12pm
