The stallholders are students, aged 15 - 18, who are part of a programme which sees them set up and run their own companies over the course of a school year.

The products on sale at the fair will include gift cards, candles and vinyl clocks.

There will also be competitions and awards on the day, including best trade stand, best product and best customer service.

Councillor Lynn Pratt, Lead Member for Economy, Regeneration and Property, said: “These young businesspeople represent the future of our local economy, and we can’t wait to experience their business ideas and see the products they have to offer.

Young Enterprise is a national charity which specialises in business and financial education. It works with schools, volunteers and influencers to build a successful future for all young people.

Mayor of Banbury, Councillor Shaida Hussain, will also be in attendance to show her support and encouragement for the students.
