Aspiring young entrepreneurs will get the chance to showcase their wares to Watford shoppers in the town centre later this month.

The Harlequin shopping centre has announced it will be hosting the Young Enterprise Trade Fair on Saturday January 21.

The annual event gives students from schools across the area the opportunity to put their business ideas into practise by setting up stalls on Lower Mall outside of M&S and HMV.

Pippa Stennnett, Assistant Marketing Manager at the Harlequin, said: “It is an absolute pleasure to welcome back local students from Watford for the Young Enterprise Trade Fair.

“The event has always proved a huge success with both our shoppers and the students and we are hugely excited to see all of their hard work first hand.”
