    Large field with plenty of space for sellers and buyers to park. Neatly organised. Includes rides for children, food vans, toilets, first aid caravan, and regular business sellers as well as private persons. Usually has an abundance of stalls with baby clothes and products. Disappointing that there is now a charge to buyers (50p per adult) as well as sellers. Especially as there has been reports of increased number of cars damaged and broken into while parked here. Runs for about 6 months of the year, every other Sunday.

    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.

    Great market, well marshalled and great range of vendors. Fast food prices bit high but it's a captive populous and there is a cost of living crisis. Well worth a visit, either as a buyer or seller. Going to be returning soon as the possibilities are tempting.

    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.

    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

  • Very friendly & lots of family friendly stalls, some great plants & a few good junk stalls. I enjoyed a rush round last Sunday between 11 & 12,having driven on recommendations from Shipdham. I was a bit surprised that so many stalls were packing up or already gone. The advert says until 2pm?

    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.
