The Essenwood's Got Talent show is open to children from 3 - 5, then from 6 - 10 and for 11 - 13. Heats are on Saturday 13 and Saturday 20 June, with the finals on 27 June.
Registration is from 9am until 10am; and the talent show heat is from 10am til 11am. There is no entry fee. Each child has three minutes to showcase their talent!
Should children want to sing, there are various songs on the playlist. Some of the popular options are Happy; All About the Bass; Snowman (from Frozen); Coronation Day (from Frozen) and Let it Go!
The top performers will be invited back to the finals on Saturday mornings 27 June at 10am.
"We want to ensure that the market's focus is firmly family-friendly," considers the market's Cyan Brown, "We are situated in a park environment with a functioning play area which is perfect for children to run around. There are also creative projects for children to enjoy - sand-art; face-mask making; biscuit and cupcake icing; beading and crafts. To complement this, we have a shaded supervised play area for the little ones, free pony rides, and feature weekly child-focused activities - be it fire-engine rides; fair-ground attractions; face-painting and children's games," she said.
The market, which was established in 1993, takes place every Saturday morning from 9am until 2pm under the trees a stone's throw away from Musgrave Centre.
The stalls offer a range of gift options: books; music; jewellery; decor items; clothing; accessories; plants; fresh flowers; fresh fruit and veggies; health and beauty products; edible treats; original artwork; crafted goods and children's wear and accessories. The market offers more than a hundred different specialist stalls.
The tea tables are serviced - the presence of waitrons mean no standing in queues - and there is subtle, dulcet background music.
