  • 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.

    Relaxed and well organised. Not squashed in. Friendly atmosphere. Make sure you have correct money on way in. £1 each person.

  • 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?

    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.

  • The car boot is really good with plenty of variety, and a good size. The down side is at present it’s 50p per person admission as of July it’s being put up to £1 per person, 100% increase how can that possibly be justified. Complete greed by the owner/ organiser. that will be my last visit.

  • 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.

    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.

    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

  • 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.
