Reading's Young Business Showcase: Browse Crafts, Bakes and More
26th June 2026
Young entrepreneurs from across Reading and the surrounding area will be showcasing their businesses at the Young Business Showcase on Broad Street on Saturday 4 July.
Taking place from 9:30am to 3pm, the event will bring together under-18s who have developed their own products and businesses, giving them the opportunity to sell directly to the public in Reading town centre.
Visitors can expect a wide variety of stalls featuring handmade crafts, baked goods, cosmetics, artwork and 3D-printed creations. Many of the young traders are students from local schools, making the showcase a celebration of creativity, enterprise and innovation among Reading's younger generation.
The event aims to give young people hands-on experience of running a business, from marketing and customer service to sales and product development, while creating a lively shopping experience for visitors to the town centre.
Whether you're looking for a unique gift, a sweet treat or simply want to support local young talent, the Young Business Showcase offers the chance to discover products created by some of Reading's most enterprising young people.
This event is sponsored by Reading Business Improvement District (BID).
