All Car Boot Sales in the UK

Most UK sales open to buyers between 10am and 12 noon and wind down by early afternoon. The earliest opens to buyers at 5am. Sellers usually arrive an hour earlier to set up. Every listing shows the opening times for buyers and sellers.

147 of the 381 sales listed in the UK are free for buyers. The 189 that charge ask 20p to £40 per adult, typically £1. Use the entry filter to show free sales only. Sellers typically pay £10 a pitch, more for a van or trailer; the exact price is on each listing.

Outdoor sales may cancel if the ground is waterlogged, so check the organiser's website or social media on the morning. 105 of the sales in the UK are indoors or under cover and run whatever the weather.

Everyday things people would rather not pay full price for: children's clothes and toys, tools, kitchenware, books, DVDs and games, garden gear and small furniture. Priced at a pound or two an item they go quickly; see our guide to what sells best at car boot sales.
