Bampton,oxfordshire garage sales sunday 3rd
Options
well if anyone is in oxfordshire make you way to bampton this sunday its the village wide garage sale. Its about 85 houses taking part. Meet in middle of village for a map of houses included. Its nominal for this and there is normally a competion with words or something to find at each stall. its all in aid of the local spajers (The Society for the Preservation of Ancient Junketing).
The SPAJERS raise about £6000 annually, which allows them to give each pensioner £10 - sometimes £20 - at Christmas, an annual party, and an annual outing.
My mum lives in Bampton so one year i was over selling off bits and pieces at her house i was surprised at the amount of people around and the amount of garage sales going on. These are people who probably don't normally carboot and its a great attmostphere.
I think its on from 1030-2.30 or thereabouts.
checked with my mum today and she said its a £1 for a map and there is a prize draw at the end for most collected words and its money usually not other prizes
.
Sorry if any details are wrong i am going on previous years . I am not going but i wish i was happy bargain hunting.
