Danielle King was among the stallholders for the special Easter Sunday market which was held at Victoria Park as opposed to the usual location at the Church Street rotunda.
Ms King was selling raffle tickets to raise money for the Cancer Council, part of her fundraising efforts ahead of the Shitbox Rally she'll be entering in October alongside husband Rob Dario.
"The Shitbox Rally raises over $20 million every year for cancer research - we're hoping to raise a minimum of $7,000. Hopefully it will be more than that but we need a minimum of $5,000 to enter the rally," she said.
"Today we're doing a giant Easter raffle which is absolutely wonderful. We've had some generous donations from the community and we've had some great support."
"Cancer hits everybody, it doesn't discriminate. So we've had a lot of support today."
Also on sale on the day was food, coffee, produce, baking, condiments, handmade goods and unique recycled vintage wares.
The next Rotunda Markets will be back on Macquarie Street on the 28th of May.
