WHERE TO CAR BOOT? East Anglia?

hlw88

Hi All,
I've decided to have a clear out before the winter sets in...need to know where the biggest/best place to car boot in suffolk and surrounding areas is?
So far I'm undecided between: Huntingdon Racecourse, Snetterton Market or Suffolk Showground (Trinity Park) any comments on these would be great, or if you have a better suggestion let me know!
Also what are the people of east anglia buying??
Thanks

Hi there i live on the Norfolk/Suffolk border and the 2 car boots that i've been to are Banham zoo and Woolpit...

I was'nt aware that Snetterton had car boot stalls, i thought it was just a giant sunday market....

Sorry i've no idea what people are buying but good luck with the clear out....

Hi, the Hunts racecourse one is dreadful - we tried to sell there about 2 yrs ago and made about £10 all day despite having loads of stuff. In contrast there is one on the outskirts of cambridge which is brillliant - you can get rid of books as people actually read them in Cambridge as opposed to huntingdon where its a bit different (i live in huntingdon so feel able to comment!!)

We made £100 at the cambridge one in late september - because all the students are back in town etc. Sold old irons, kettles, even 6m of co-ax cable! Also, its really busy and really fun.

I can't remember its name but its just off the A14 near a football ground i think. You need to get there early - we were there for 6.30am and it was nearly full.

Will write if I can remember its name.

Sounds like you might mean the Car Boot at Cowley Rd Park and Ride site -- about 200m from A14. (not sure it's very near a football ground though!)

If so, you should be aware that this is no longer running -- the park and ride site has moved and now runs Sundays so the car boot sale has gone.
