The South West has one of the best car boot scenes in the country, and we list 57 sales spread across Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire, Bristol and Gloucestershire. From windswept coastal pitches to working farms in the Mendips, the region rewards early risers and patient browsers, with stalls heavy on vintage china, fishing gear, garden tools and West Country bric-a-brac.
Most of our car boot sales in the South West run on a Sunday from spring through to autumn. Reliable favourites include Lansdown Car Boot Sale above Bath, Exeter Racecourse in Devon, Truro Car Boot Sale and Market in Cornwall, Cheddar Car Boot just below the Gorge, Taunton in Somerset and the long-running Wotton sale in Gloucestershire. Bristol shoppers also have Clifton and the indoor St Nicholas Market, while Sturminster Newton serves rural Dorset.
For the best bargains, arrive as the gates open, bring cash and small change, and wear sturdy boots, as many fields stay muddy after rain. Use the directory to search by town or postcode and check opening times before you set off, since coastal sites can cancel in bad weather.
