Posted on Thursday 30th April 2009 at 6:50 am by SH (Editor)
A popular car boot sale that takes place near Bradley Stoke is to re-open for the 2009 season this weekend.
The Trench Lane Boot Sale, held on Sundays on a farmland site opposite the entrance to Woodlands Golf Club [map], will open for the first time this year on Sunday 3rd May.
The site opens to sellers and buyers at 7am and trading goes on until around 3pm. Sellers are charged £7 for a car or £10 for a van.
On a smaller scale, Holy Family Church at Patchway Roundabout is holding a one-off boot sale on Monday (4th May) between 10am and 2pm. Sellers will be charged £5 for a car and £8 for a van.

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.

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
Monday 27th July 2009 at 12:00 pm
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.

Kind regards
