Last year’s national winner, Emma Rus, walked away with the title and £500 cash prize.
Luke Johnson, Your Eastbourne BID operations manager, said, “We are really excited to be able to develop the first Young Traders’ Market in Eastbourne.
“We trialled the idea as part of the Christmas Market in 2020 and found it to be very successful, enjoyed by many and provided essential experience for our young entrepreneurs.
