I can tell you the crumlin road carboot sale is definitely not on on Saturdays and runs from 9.30 until 1 on a Sunday, and is absolutely massive. Does anybody know of any goos ones that are on on a Saturday morning.

I went up to Dunsilly this morning, 7.00 start, wasn't too bad cleared over £150, it finished up around 11.30.

I am going to go to the crumlin road one in the morning, I would say its about 4/5 times bigger than Dunsilly. I will let you know how I get on.

don't know if anyones mentioned Greysteel outside Limavady it has over 200 sellers on a good day think it's a Sunday, I don't really like the Ballymena one not sure why too much junk & antiques, also Dunsilly is picking up Saturday am & has started to do Wednesday pm, Dundrod ( outside Antrim ) is on I think it's 1st Saturday of every month, the elk in Toomebridge does one every Saturday realitively small so far but word is getting round
hope this helps

Hi Angelamc, did you go to the crumlin rd one last week? We are hoping to go on Sunday weather permitting.

What time did you go at?

thanks!:beer:

Went to the one on Crumlin Rd yesterday. Arrived about 8.20 and lots of cars/vans already in the car park. Got in and set up and cars still arriving after 9.30!

the buyers were let in at 10am. Very busy with sellers and buyers, cleared over £100 which wasnt bad at all. We left around 1.30 but it was still going.

Will have to go back and get rid of some more stuff in the loft before it collapses lol

Went to Crumlin Road on Sunday morning. Joined the q of traffic at Ardoyne roundabout just after 9 and sat for about 45 mins in the queue. There was still a very long q behind us. Really good turnout of Sunday, about twice as many as when we did a recon 2 weeks ago.

It was a lovely day, which I think helped, but we cleared over £100, so we were really happy:T . Guy collecting the money told us that they were beginning Saturdays from this week.

We are thinking of trying Dunsilly on saturday morning, depending on the weather. Anyone done this one recently?
