    hi,

    just wondering if anyone know of any car boot sales around the Easter Holidays?
    I know Windsor Park is on Easter Sunday but would be interested about the rest of the week around the greater Belfast area???

    Salduck, The one at Bloomfield Church started again today. If you had the books in some storage / cardboard boxes you could set them on their sides. Not sure about prices, but if my wife and kids are buying about 5p each would be about right . Good luck.

    St Donards Church (junction of Bloomfield Rd and Beersbridge Rd). Think it costs £5 per car.
