Stalls were spread out on the train and also on the platform. Stalls included Artisan foods which included bread, cheese pickles, chutney and locally made beer, festive drinks and nibbles. There were also other food stalls with handmade chocolates, sweets and candy floss. Locally produced pottery was also on show as were wildlife photographs and pictures, handmade gifts, jewellery and bags. Other businesses included retro clothing and face painting. A local choir sang during the afternoon and was well received by those attending the Christmas Market.
Local charities were represented by Help for Hero's, St Margarets's Hospice and the British Heart Foundation. The Mayor was supported on the day by the Town Clerk Mrs Sanders.
