Car boot sale in Staffordshire/West Midlands/Shropshire

blue_haddock

I could do with doing a car boot tomorrow to have a clear out and raise some holiday cash but its been years since i've done one and more importantly attended one. There used to be a big one near to Cannock just off the M54 and M6 but i've no idea if its still there.

I'm based in Stoke on trent and need to go over to Telford to see my mum later on so anywhere in between or just off the route like cannock/walsall area would be great.

So which ones are the best ones folks?

The one in Hanley on Sunday is good:

Still going strong. I was there a few weeks ago. Always make around £100 from my sales there.

Any idea what time The one at Cannock starts?

Having found on the net that the cannock one starts at 6am i think the one local to me in stoke sounds best!

Oh balls!

Right i got to the Hanley one for well ahead of the 9am advertised start time to find it in full swing and full to car booters - grrrr

I'm now going to do the cannock one when i get back off my hols but what time do i need to be there in order to get set up on a decent pitch?

I get there for about 7.45. All the traders arrive and set up well before that. The majority of booters set up from half 7.Never had a bad pitch in the 5 times I have used it.

They also run an afternoon sale (different site on the other side of the motorway, it's well sign posted and starts at 12.30) although I have never usd that one to sell.
