Brighton Racecourse is the county's all-year Sunday sale, open to buyers between 10.30am and 4pm for 80p with early passes available and £10 car pitches. Pevensey Bay Boot Sale on the A259 runs every Sunday through the summer from April to mid-September at 50p, and Halland near Uckfield charges 50p per car.

Locals say boot sale or boot fair: Elm Tree Bootsale at Icklesham near Rye tops Google's local results and calls itself one of the largest in Sussex, and Hailsham's cattle market site holds a boot fair every Friday from 6am with cars at £8. The Mega Car Boot Sale at Sayers Common and Poynings ranks for East Sussex queries but is over the West Sussex border. Field sites here generally run April to October, so Brighton Racecourse is the winter option. Rye's market and the Uckfield nearly-new sale are listed alongside the boot sales.

Locally these are usually called boot fairs or boot sales; both mean the same event as a car boot sale. Our boot fairs page explains the term and lists every sale in the directory that uses it.
