North East Car Boot Sales: Times, Dates & Locations

North East Car Boot Sales

The North East has 12 car boot sales in the directory, each with its day, opening times, entry fee and a map. 9 run on a Sunday, 1 on a Saturday and 2 during the week.

3 of the 12 sales listed publish no closed season; 8 more are inside a published season today. Each card shows which.

8% are free for buyers to enter and 1 is indoors or under cover. The busiest spots are Seaham (2), Amble (1), Chester-le-Street (1) and Corbridge (1). The next sale in the North East is expected on Wednesday 23 September.

Buyers are usually let in around 10am, with sellers on site from an hour before. Wear sturdy shoes and bring a big bag; fields are uneven after rain and the good stuff is heavier than it looks. Use the day tabs above to see what is on today, this weekend or on a bank holiday, or pick a town below.

The North East has a proper, weather-hardened car boot scene, and we list six regular sales spread across Tyneside, Northumberland and County Durham. From the banks of the Tyne to old airfields and racecourses, these are the kind of community sales where early birds bag the best bargains and sellers turn up rain or shine. Whatever the forecast, there is almost always a boot sale running somewhere in the region this weekend.

Most of our car boot sales in the North East run on Sundays. Hexham Car Boot Fair goes every Sunday all year round with around 75 stalls, while Blaydon Carboot Sale runs Sundays from March through October. Sedgefield Car Boot adds a midweek Thursday alongside its Sunday session, and Tranwell Airfield near Morpeth opens Sundays and Bank Holiday Mondays from April to October. Seaham is handy if you want a Saturday, with both Saturday and Sunday sites by the coast.

Arrive early for the pick of the stalls, bring small change and wear sturdy boots, as field sites get muddy. Search by town or postcode to find your nearest sale, plus opening times, dates and entry fees.
