Lothian's Young Enterprise Christmas Market will be held tomorrow -  Saturday 3 December 2011.

Knox Academy have two teams who will be represented with stalls at the Christmas Market. 

  • Light of the Lothians, are selling festive candles which will brighten any home!
  • Team Vedana, are producing a guide to East Lothian and will be selling local produce at the market.

The event is at The Apex International Hotel, Grassmarket, Edinburgh and is open to the public from 10 am - 3  pm. It would be great to see familiar Haddington faces there, supporting both the teams!

The event has 30 other teams with stalls selling a great variety of products, meaning the Christmas Market will be the perfect venue to do some quality Christmas shopping.

 

Further information on the Young Enterprise programme can be found on the Lothian Area Board website.
