A popular car boot sale that takes place near Bradley Stoke is to re-open for the 2009 season this weekend.

Hi there, can I confirm is thi scar boot held every Sunday? I am looking to do a car boot on Sunday 17th May but obviously don’t want to turn up if it isn’t going to be open! Many thanks, Sam
Sam, the Trench Lane Boot Sale will run from 3rd May to 27th Sep in 2009. More details on our Markets page. I hope this helps.
hi will the bradly stoke car boot sale be on this sunday because was not on last weekend ? hope u could let me no many thanks dave.
Dave, I’ve contacted the organiser and he says that the sale had to cancelled last Sunday due to exceptional weather – the field was very wet. This happens very infrequently and he says he does ask local radio stations to spread the news on such occasions.
Is it mwe or did this car boot use to me on on a thursday as well? is it still on on a thursday has it ever been on on a thursday? can anyone help please….thanks…
I arrived at your boot sale on Sunday 12th July after setting up my stall i was approached by a women who was holding a piece of paper which she said was from the council and told me that i would have to pack up and leave because i was as she claimed a trader, her reason being the fact that i was selling goods which were new and the council rule was no traders , can i say most objectively that i am not a trader , i would estimate that over 60% of what i was selling was old and not new , also what constitutes a trader ? is it a person like the vast majority of your sellers that go to flea markets during the week and purchase goods and then take them to your boot sale and sell them on at a profit , what difference does it make if i buy new to sell or buy old to sell at the end of the day it is all trading. If you insist that no new items can be sold then i request that you stop the sale of plants which are new and all products that fall into this category and also advertise the fact that you do not allow the sale of new goods. Sincerely a very unhappy and long time boot seller.
Can anyone tell if you need to book a pitch for the Bradley Stoke carboot or just turn up
Please can someone confirm that the car boot will be happening this coming Sunday? (2nd Aug) at Trench Lane Bradley Stoke.
Sorry, but The Journal can’t answer queries about whether the boot sale will take place on any particular date. The event takes place every Sunday between the dates given on our Markets page. The organiser says it will only be cancelled in the extremely rare event of exceptionally wet weather making the field unusable. If in doubt, listen out for announcements on local radio.
Can anyone let me know if need to call and book a pitch or is is first come first serve.
Kind regards
Matt
