Hide AdMarie Shaw, Burnley Market manager, said: “The event is giving young people an opportunity to show off their business ideas, as well as musical and dramatic talents."
Those confirmed include Salutem, a Young Enterprise team from Blessed Trinity RC College, promoting a fire safety book, and Lavender Hearts, an accessories outfit run by 13-year-old Amber McCarney and friends.
Construction and craft students from Coal Clough Academy will aim to sell novelty gifts to customers and 14-year-old Shuttleworth College representative Nicole Tipping will be selling shabby chic items as part of her Crafty Cole venture.
Acts will range from Pendle-based pop-rock covers band The Switch UK to acoustic duo Odall, Nick Wood and Kyle Worrall, to fire-eater Daren Harper.
Fourteen-year-old Barnoldswick rockers Jack and Joey Aurora, and fellow West Craven teenager Mollie Jesson, doing acoustic covers are also tipped to appear.
