Car Boot Sale News
Dengie Manor pulls plug on car boot sales
The Dengie Manor Country Club Boot Sale in Southminster, Essex, has been cancelled for the remainder of this summer because of low attendance at recent events.
The car boot sales were originally held fortnightly, but had recently switched to weekly in a bid to boost visitor numbers.
Let's hope they are back in 2010 bigger and better!

Organisers of the new car boot sale at the Lakeside public house in St. Osyth, Clacton On Sea, Essex are offering free pitches to all sellers until the end of March 2009!

The true value of the car boot item emerged at the filiming of an episode of the TV programme, Antiques Roadshow. Experts identified it as the work of French designer René Lalique whose work has become increasingly collectable.
It was then put up for auction by Christies of London on the 12th of November 2008 where it fetched £32,450.

Nurses hold car boot sale to raise money for hospital in Nepal
Two nurses from the Isle of Arran in Scotland are holding a car boot sale on Easter Sunday (March the 22nd 2010) to raise funds to help set up a hospital in Nepal.

£2 car boot sale LP sells for £4,000
An autographed Rolling Stones album bought at a car boot sale in Derbyshire has sold at auction for £4,000!
The 1976 Black and Blue LP Experts think the album was bought at a car boot sale for just £2 - after the buyer managed to get a pound knocked off the asking price. It was only later that he realised that thje sleeve had been signed by not onlty members of the Stones, bnut also John Lennon, Yoko Ono, Paul and Linda McCartney and George Harrison.
The LP was sold at auction last month by Bamfords auctioneers for £4,000.
Is your boot sale buy worth a small fortune? Ask Flog It!
The BBC's popular antiques programme, Flog It, is out and about over the coming months, looking to value your boot sale finds and unearth some hidden gems that can go forward to auction.
Previous programmes have seen a ceramic bowl bought for £4 at a car boot sale selling for a whopping £1,500 at auction - so if you think you have unearthed a hidden treasure at a boot sale why not take it along to one of the forthcoming Flog It valuation days?
Sunday 13 January - Museum of the Great Western Railway, Swindon
Sunday 20 January - St Albans Town Hall, Market Place, St Albans
Sunday 3 February - Kings Hall, Stoke-on-Trent
Sunday 10 February - Pannier Market, Tavistock
Doors open at 9.30am until 4pm.
Woodley Shopping Centre boot sales to end?
The monthly car boot sales held at Woodley Shopping Centre in Woodley, Berkshire, may be at an end with no plans in place to hold them there in 2008.
Normally ten sales are held every year - none take place in November or December because of the Woodley Winter Extravaganza and Christmas. The current organiser pays Woodley Town Centre’s Management Initiative £200 a year to hire the site, but has no plans to run boot sales at the shopping centre next year.
Three sales have had to be cancelled this year because of bad weather and that together with competition from other local boot sales meant that the organiser actually lost money during 2007 - hence the decision not to continue when the sales are due to restart in January.
Football medal bought at car boot sale sells for £6,400
A Champions League winning football medal that was bought for £10 at a car boot sale in London has sold at auction for a whopping £6,400!
The medal, which dates from Manchester United's Champions League winning 1996-97 season, was bought as part of a box of trinkets for just £10 at a boot sale in Peckham, South East London.
After discovering the medal in the box, the anonymous buyer took it to an auction house who confirmed it was genuine.
And when it went under the hammer at an auction in Ludlow, Shropshire, at the start of October it sold for £6,400!
Keep 'em peeled as Shaw Taylor used to say!

Please note!
Information published on boot-fairs.co.uk is believed to be correct at the time it is prepared, but please bear in mind that details do change and that some of the content on this website may no longer be correct.

And if you spot a mistake please let us know!
What's the difference between a car boot sale and a boot fair?
There is no difference! A car boot sale and a boot fair are the same thing. The very first car boot sale was held in Kent in 1980 and was called a Boot Fayre and to this day the term boot fair is still widely used in counties with a long tradition of car booting and also by some of the country's longest running events. The good news is you'll find bargains galore at both!
2011 Bank Holidays!
Lots of car boot sales start their season with the Easter Bank Holiday. So when is Easter in 2011? Easter Sunday is on the 24th of April and Easter Monday is the 25th. The Early May Bank Holiday is on the 2nd of May and the Spring Bank Holiday is on the 30th of May - look out for boot sales on both. And the Summer Bank Holiday in England and Wales is on Monday the 29th of August 2011 - some of the biggest car boot sales of the year take place that weekend :-)
