It's almost the Dragon's Den - 100 student entrepreneurs are to do battle at St George’s Shopping Centre in Harrow this weekend.

The students from across north west London are taking part in the Young Enterprise scheme.

The 15 to 18-year-olds have worked together to set up 20 companies, each of which will have a stall in the shopping centre this weekend.

They will compete to promote their businesses and sell their goods – everything from jute bags to thermal mugs, with prizes including the teamwork award and the marketing award.

Darren Harman, centre manager of St George's, said: “We are delighted to be hosting this event for a second year running.

“Like our shoppers we love seeing the fantastic proposals and products that these student entrepreneurs will bring to the centre. 

“We know north west London is full of young people with real talent and outstanding ideas and we're thrilled to be a part of this incredible event. 

“The centre will be buzzing and our shoppers will be inspired and amazed.  Don't miss it!”

Young Enterprise is the United Kingdom’s largest business and enterprise education charity, and helps more than 250,000 young people learn about business and the world of work in schools, colleges and universities every year.
