Young Somerset has secured space for a creative pop-up shop in time for National Youth Work Week.
The charity, which specialises in children's mental health and wellbeing provision, will be hosting its Bold and Brave pop-up shop from November 5.
The shop, located in Angel Place Shopping Centre, will also feature a range of workshops and events.
It was acquired by Seed Sedgemoor earlier in the year and will be home to the youth-focused charity for a week.
Nik Harwood, CEO at Young Somerset, said: "We’re really excited to be hosting this pop-up in the centre of Bridgwater, to celebrate National Youth Work Week.
"Youth work is absolutely fundamental to the wellbeing of young people, not just locally but nationally, and it’s great to be able to celebrate that here in Bridgwater.
"Visitors to the Bold and Brave pop-up shop will be able to find some really unique items, made by local businesses and young entrepreneurs that reflect the passion and creativity of Somerset.
"The space will also be filled with a range of workshops designed to engage children, young people, and families, and provide local residents with access to culture, inclusion, creativity, and ‘The Art of Youth Work’.
"We are so grateful to have a space in Bridgwater to showcase the brilliant work that happens at Young Somerset."
Bold & Brave is a venture established by Young Somerset, bringing together and providing opportunities for young people and the community.
Throughout the week there will be a timetable of free sessions and workshops that focus on culture, youth work, and arts.
Young Somerset will collaborate with Seed, Into Film, The Glade Centre, and Somerset Business Association, to bring a diverse range of opportunities to the town.
