    Dundonald, Streamvale Farm is starting boot sales up on Saturdays, just up the road at the lights from the Ice Bowl turn first right :D
  • Where abouts in Ards is the car boot on a Sunday and what are the times?
  • Hi,
    there's a REALLY GREAT site that lists car boot sales (searchable by area) with dates, times, phone numbers and even website links....

    http://www.carbootsrus.com/

    It lists over 1000 different car boot locations around the country plus many more car boot sales world-wide and it's free !!!!

    :T

    Happy booting !

    Much depends on how far you want to travel, but the one in St Donards Church at the junction of Bloomfield Road and Beersbridge Road in East Belfast on a Saturday morning has just started for this season and always seems very well attended.

    Im interested in other car boot sales too, Belfast and surrounding areas.

    There is one at the church just after Whiteabbey roundabout (facing the garage) every sat morning but im not sure how busy it is.

    Others we have been too is Jim Baker Stadium in Parkgate (Templepatrick/Ballyclare direction) Friday evening, but you need to be there about 3pm ish to set up/get a space so not good for work.
    Windsor Park, Sunday mornings, we were there early around 7.30/8am was busy.

    Does anyone know about the one near Junction One? just after the Comfort hotel? I don't mind travelling a bit to find a good one to sell at.

    Thanks!:beer:

    I tried a few car boot sales but i got fed up after a woman offered me £2.50 for a leather jacket which cost £550! I ended up selling expensive things for buttons, so i gave up and went home. It ended up COSTING me money!!! :(

  • The one in Antrim just off duncilly roundabout is now on every Wed night as well as on Sat morning - My hubby was past last Wed and he said it was bunged. I hope to have a stand at it one of these days
