The Prince's Trust Marketplace is the place to visit this week. Exciting new businesses founded by inspirational young women will be showcased within the magnificent newly restored Grade II listed Battersea Power Station in London to celebrate International Women’s Day.
From Friday 3 March to Saturday 4 March, more than 15 mall brands who have been directly supported by King Charles III's charity will be selling their finest wares, from jewellery to candles and ceramics, stationery, food and more.
WATCH: Royals love shopping too!
Trendsetting royals from Princess Kate to Duchess Meghan and even Princess Charlotte are known to prompt surges in sales when they step out in these undiscovered brands – some of which have included Prince's Trust alumni. Every stallholder at the marketplace will be an up-and-coming young woman who has completed the charity's 'Enterprise Programme', founded in 1976.

The 2023 International Women’s Day Marketplace is part of the charity's #ChangeAGirlsLife campaign, which aims to raise awareness and vital funds to empower young women to gain the confidence and skills they need for work, education, and training.
If you can't make it to Battersea Power Station this week, keep scrolling to discover four of the new businesses below. Meanwhile, over 60 well-known labels have committed to supporting the campaign in their own unique way. L.K. Bennett is generously donating 20 percent of proceeds from all items sold to the #ChangeAGirlsLife. The White Company will donate £5 from the sale of each candle sold.
