Car Boot / Jumble Sales / SwapMeet

Hello all

Does anyone know of any (possibly tried and tested?) car boot etc.., sales that still operate in November in Fife / Edinburgh?

We have just had a massive clear out and rather than take to the dump, we thought some of the things would be great for a car boot.... failing that some charities could benefit.

Never done this before, have done a google search and some details come up however, not whether they still run in November and who to contact etc..

Does anyone know?

Thanks
GJ x

    I go to the one in the Omni Centre in Edinburgh, Its underground so you dont have to rely on the weather, its £15 per car and its always really busy. Its 9-1 but best getting there early to guarantee a space as people start queuing from 2am! Thats how good it is. So Just turn up to the car park enterance and hand over your £15 then get shown where to set up and away you go. It really is the best one by far. xx

    Yep thereson ein east fortune but its outside so you really need the weather. Its £10 a table there or theres one Chesser next to the asda car park but ive never been to that one, only drove past and it seemed extremely quiet but others have said that it can be busy.

    Have a read at this thread as there seems to be alot of car boots on here -

    The one at the omni is by far the best and it is always heaving especially the run up to xmas, you will make your money back within the for 15 mins.
