North West

The North West is one of the best regions in the country for a good rummage, and we list 10 car boot sales in North West England spanning Cheshire, Lancashire, Merseyside and Greater Manchester. From bustling Sunday giants to friendly local field sales, there is something on most weekends through the warmer months.

Among our listings are some genuine favourites. Chelford Car Boot in Cheshire is a long-running crowd-puller, while Warrington's car boot has been named one of the best in the country. Up the coast you will find Norcross near Blackpool and Bilsborrow in rural Lancashire, plus Clitheroe, Burscough and the lively East Lancs sale. Greater Manchester shoppers head for Bolton and the well-known Bowlee boot at Middleton, while Merseyside is served by Bootle. Most run on Sundays from spring through autumn, with a few Saturday and midweek dates too.

For the sharpest bargains, arrive early when stalls are fresh, bring cash and small change, and pack for changeable North West weather. Use the directory to search by town or postcode and check each listing for opening times, dates and entry fees before you set off.
