The market is open to anyone interested in selling their goods. All the goods sold were either hand-made or homegrown, from vegetables to vegan leather bags and jewellery. All the proceeds for the day went to the stall owners themselves, however, everyone had the option to donate to the charity store, if they wished to do so.

According to Robert Miller, owner of The Charity Box, they even invited a band to entertain all those who came to visit the market. Furthermore, they hope to hold the market every last Saturday of the month, and they are even willing to expand if necessary. Currently, the market has grown to such an extent that there is a waiting list for those wanting stalls.
