Car Boot Megathread - 2012 - Please see first post

Recommended Posts

This is my attempt to put all Car Boot Sales on one post so that Forum members don't have to trawl through the entire thread. Please note, This post is only as good as the info I receive from other posters/organizers and I try and give contact info where available so it's advisable to check with the organizers before heading out.

 

Many car boots are seasonal. I've divided the list into sections of regular boot sales (please note that they are not necessarily weekly but take place periodically over the season) and a section for any other one offs this weekend and upcoming dates that have been announced. Plus there are links at the end to websites with extensive details of Yorkshire and Derbyshire boot sales.

 

All feedback welcomed and I will try to keep it updated week to week! Please post and also PM me in case I miss the post. Please can people give as much detail as possible or the info can end up being rather vague. I'll try to attribute details of any one off sales to the poster who notifies me so that, if there are any queries, forum members know who originally notified me of the sale.

Due to a couple of requests and the "old" megathread just getting too big, we are starting a new thread for 2012.

 

Might take a couple of days for the old one to disappear.

 

But use this "new" one from now on.

 

Thanks

 

Jim

Great the old one was getting to big... Thank's Surfinjim for starting a new one.

 

Also i still rate the Keepmoate stadium (football ground) in Doncaster the best car boot near sheffield. It is mainly tarmack (not a muddy sludge pit like most of the rest :) )

Went to the Stocksbridge one yesterday. A dozen stalls at best. Nice little set up, but just not big enough.

Disappointing. Half the amount of dates as last year and they started in May last year, not July.

Any reasons why I wonder?

Hi,

I was just thinking the same. Wonder if they might add some more dates nearer the time? :)

Denaby is usually on, but it's not very good. Car boot stuff- but we are talking real tat! IMO!

 

Doncaster is supposed to be antiques market on a Wednesday. The bulk of the stalls do sell antiques/collectables, but there are also a number of car booty type stalls. Doncaster is ok.
