large outdoor market

cheapscate

can anyone recommend a really large outdoor market - I live near the Buckinghamsire/Bedfordshire/Northamptonshire border. I looked on line at North Weald near Epping but it is a bit far. I know Bovingdon market and Finmere but wanted something a bit larger.

Cant help you but hope you find something. I hope you dont mind but I was wondering about Kempton racecourse market. Whats there and if worth a trip.

Last time we went to Bovingdon, not too long before Xmas, we were surprised by the number of empty stalls, and the overall lack of variety. Nowhere near as good as it was, don't know why though. I did wonder if all similar markets were going through the same process. Perhaps there is just no real need anymore, with the rise of Primark, and similar discount outlets, not to metion online clearance outlets.

Just noticed you've been to Finmere and that is not large so in comparison Wellesbourne is much bigger.

Don't know how long a journey you want to make but Europe's largest outdoor market is Blackbushe (near Camberley, Surrey) - just up the road from us. People come on coach trips from as far as Scotland!! It is based on Blackbushe airport. It is a bit quiet at this time of year - will start to get better towards Easter.
