More than 85 young traders and performers will take part in this month's Wirral Youth Market in Bromborough, making it the biggest Youth Market event ever held in the borough.

Wirral Youth Market is heading to Bromborough this summer, bringing a vibrant mix of young entrepreneurs, creative talent and live entertainment to the town centre on Saturday 22 August 2026.

Wirral Council’s leader has welcomed the “significant investment into our local economy” of a return of The Open to Wirral and the Liverpool City Region.

Construction and fit out of the new Birkenhead Market is expected to begin in the coming days. The former TJ Hughes building will become the new home for Birkenhead Market in the latest chapter for the historic shopping venue.

In addition to agreeing the three-month extension of the closure order, the court also ordered that the landlords were liable for costs of £1,287.

Local employers across Wirral are invited to a breakfast event on 23 June focused on helping businesses find and support young local talent.

Development of the new Birkenhead Market in the former TJ Hughes building is moving on to the next phase.

A targeted programme will see businesses in part of Birkenhead awarded grants to fund shop front improvement.

People looking for work or considering their next career move are invited to meet employers face to face at the next Jobs Market event, taking place in Birkenhead this May.

More local firms and entrepreneurs will continue to get fully funded, practical help to start or grow a business thanks to an extension of the Wirral’s Business Support Service through to March 2027.

Residents seeking work will benefit from a further year of dedicated support as Wirral Council approves a 12 month extension to the ReachOut Worklessness Support Service, delivered by Involve Northwest.

Residents and businesses in New Ferry are invited to two community drop in events to find out more about the next stages of regeneration being planned in the area.
