RNLI Bootsale - Henley 2010?

ellesee

Hi,
I've heard a lot about a huge boot sale that is held annually in Henley for the RNLI. I'm hoping to go for the first time this year but can't find much information about it. Has anyone been before/ know when it is being held this year?
Thank you
(Apologies if this has already been posted)

Edit: apologies date and link corrected thanks to Kittyk

imho

I live in Henley. I have been a few times but its so big and a lot of professional sellers. The car park is on the site but is a nightmare to get out as its so busy. Its in a gorgeous setting as its right by the river.Its the same spot the Henley Regatta is held every year.
If your coming from far away,make a day of it and have a sunday meal in Henley and walk over the bridge to where the park and lock is.Thats if its a sunny day.

I have been to the Henley car boot several times and it is huge and held in the Regatta Meadows. Unless you can get there extremely early (just after 6am), be prepared to get stuck in a traffic jam for about 30 minutes or more. We usually make a day of it by taking a large picnic to eat sitting in the meadow, with a view of the Thames. There are lots of antique dealers with silly prices, but there is an awful lot of ordinary folks and charity stalls selling quality items really cheap. The TV programme Car Booty, used to do quite a lot of filming at Henley. We don't usually leave till about 4pm, so as to avoid the traffic exit queues.
