The East of England has one of the most rewarding car boot scenes in the country, spread across the flat, easy-to-reach farmland of Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire. We currently list 19 car boot sales in East of England, from busy garden-centre regulars to village field sales that draw sellers from miles around. Most run on Sundays through the spring-to-autumn season, with a handful of Saturday and midweek options too.

Among our favourites are Fordham Car Boot near Ely, Skylark Car Boot at the garden centre in March, and the long-running Weeting Car Boot in Norfolk, which trades on Saturdays. Closer to the London fringe you'll find St Albans RFC and Redbourn in Hertfordshire, Pulloxhill and Linslade in Bedfordshire, and the all-weather Peterborough One sale on the retail park at Eye Road.

For the best bargains, arrive early — the keenest buyers are there as sellers unpack. Many of these sites sit on grass, so check the forecast and wear sturdy shoes. Search by town or postcode below to find opening times, dates and entry fees near you.
