sunday market/ car boot sale

lisa76

The car boot sale in Sully is fantastic!
They run from May to August.
I think the first one will be the 7th May (they're on Sundays).
If you are selling I think it's £5, but it's free to visit.
They get really busy. I was getting down there for 8.30 and people were always there before me.
Hope this helps.

Yes I usually go to the Sully car boots - sometimes selling and sometimes just wandering around - I have picked up some lovely plants for my garden from there. I also prefer it to Bessemer.

There is sometimes a car boot sale on a Sunday in the Barry Boys Comprehensive School in Barry (best to check Barry and District before you set off).

By the way hello Lisa76 - nice to see a fellow Barrian on here ! :rotfl:

hi welsh dragon
have you been to the boys school boot sale? what a shame its so rubbish! nah, think that's unfair - it just hasn't been advertised enough.
i have always found car boots to be a waste of time, but sully has to be the best i've been to (like bessemar used to be) - counting down to may!

I agree, Sully is my favourite - friendly atmosphere and genuine people doing a clear out.

Some schools have table top sales and car boots - I've occasionally seen them in the Echo small ads on a Thursday.

The first Barry Boys car boot sale starts on 24th April. They are hoping it will be bigger and better than before.

Thanks, Welsh-dragon,

I'm really looking forward to the chance of getting something for my junk!

Is the bootsale at Barry Boys all outdoors? I remember a couple of schools had sales inside and around their sports halls - bit easier with our lovely Welsh weather! Where DID that sun go ?

Hiya appyjack, the car boots are generally outside with a van selling the necessary hot refreshments ! I was chatting to the organiser yesterday and they will be holding at least 10 car boots from end of April onwards at Barry Boys and also some (hopefully) in the new car park of the YMCA.

I have lots to get rid of so maybe I will see you there.
