Practical advice for buyers and sellers from the Car Boot Directory team.
How much money can you make at a car boot sale? Most first-timers take £50 to £150 from a car load of household clutter. What decides it, what the pitch costs, and how to take more.
What can't you sell at a car boot sale? Knives to under-18s, banned weapons, fireworks, alcohol, medicines, fakes and more are illegal or restricted. Plus the things that simply won't sell.
What is illegal to sell at a car boot sale, when HMRC counts it as trading, whether you need permission to run one, and why they start so early.
Every Friday, the sales on near you this Saturday and Sunday. Free, one email a week, unsubscribe any time.
List it free. Organisers get a full listing page with dates, prices, map and directions — and buyers get an email when your next sale is coming up.
Type your town or postcode into the search at the top of this page, or tap Near me to use your location. We list 380 car boot sales, markets and fairs across the UK, sorted by distance, each with its next date, opening time, entry fee and directions.
Use the Today and Tomorrow pages: they only show sales with a date on that day, so a sale whose season has ended will not appear. Sunday is the main day, with 252 of the sales we list running on a Sunday, 105 on a Saturday and 66 midweek.
The most common buyer opening time across the sales we list is 8am, and the best finds go in the first hour. Arrive mid-morning for a relaxed browse, when sellers start dropping prices to avoid packing up.
132 of the 380 sales we list are free for buyers; the rest usually charge 50p to £1. Sellers pay for a pitch, with a median of £10 for a car, normally in cash on the gate. Every listing shows the latest prices we know.
The largest regular sales draw hundreds of sellers every week, with well-known examples in Kent, Essex, the Midlands and Yorkshire. Our guide to the best car boot sales in the UK compares them, and each listing shows its typical size.
Most field sales close between late September and the end of October, but 75 of the sales we list are indoors or under cover, and many on hard standing run all year. See the winter car boot sales page for sales that publish no closed season.
Outdoor sales can be cancelled if the ground is waterlogged or frozen. Check the organiser's website or social media on the morning, or choose an indoor sale.
Use the Add a sale page to list a new sale for free, or the 'Help us improve this listing' form on any listing to report a change. Every update is checked by a person before it goes live.
