Our Young Stars have been battling it out at the National Market Traders Federation.
This month, the search for the next generation of business talent is underway! As part of the prestigious National Market Traders Federation (NMTF) Young Trader of the Year competition, young entrepreneurs with big ideas took to the stalls in Billingham, Stockton, and Thornaby.
Hosted by Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council, the Bright Minds Big Futures youth movement, and the NMTF, these heats saw our local markets buzzing with fresh energy. Our traders were put to the test, with a panel of judges scoring them on everything from product quality and stall aesthetics to their promotion skills and customer service.
The winner and runner-up of this heat are going through to the North East regional final in Newcastle on Saturday, 24 July.
Come along, show your support for our homegrown talent, and see if one of our own can take home the regional title!

What is the MFC Health Bus?

The Stockton Waterfront urban park is opening on 20th June!
The urban park is a transformational new public space designed to reconnect the High Street directly to the riverside via an impressive 55-metre land bridge. This iconic space features a massive riverside amphitheatre and an oval lawn specifically designed to host Stockton’s famous large-scale events and pop-up markets. Families can enjoy three distinct play areas, ranging from industrial-themed climbing towers and ‘totter trails’ to a thrilling six-metre slide and water play features. Beyond the excitement, the park offers a journey through Stockton’s heritage, with artistic floor illustrations and quiet seating areas set amongst vibrant seasonal gardens. With modern amenities like all-weather shelters and accessible facilities, it’s a premier destination built for play, culture, and community.
