  • Very well organised, only thing I would say is £10 for a car is a bit pricey and times aren't correct. We got there at 6.15am and it was in full swing, loads of buyers while you are trying to set up. Think I'd get there a bit earlier next time. Big pitches, plenty of room. People start packing up around 10.30

    One of the better car boot sales, probably 70% or so of the sellers are genuine car booters looking to sell stuff from their homes so it’s worth a visit. Try and arrive early as the queue to get parked can be lengthy after 8.30am.

    Bigger than the normal ones I go to but products that are less quality and more samey. I suppose it will depend on what you are after. Food and toilets are available as well as ample parking. Prices are more reasonable than I am used to.

    Absolutely fantastic car boot. But be ready to have you're pants pulled down in the barter. Much better if you're a professional like the butcher's and food vendors.

    A MASSSSSIVE car boot. Honestly it’s so big. Some good bargains to be had here except maybe the meal wagons. Very pricey. 50p entry for a buyer

    Very large carboot, takes good 2 hours to do it all especially if it is a good one. It is a shame that as a buyer you have ro pay 1 pound per person.

    Went with a friend to sell and had a great time. Everyone is so friendly and there are so many great stalls including the meat stand, Barbie stand and Lego stand and a Burger van or two. We sold most of our stuff and just had a lovely time hanging out. Lots for kids to do, bouncy castles etc and great bargains to be had.
