Carboots in Thanet, Kent?

Options
Hi,

Does anyone have any recommendations for any carboots in the Thanet area? We have a caravan down there, and so miss out on our local carboots when we go down for the weekend. We did print off a list from carboot junction, but spectacularly managed to fail to locate any of them, and ended up spending a whole sunday morning just driving round in circles! This was in October, so perhaps some of them had packed up by then?

We're located near Birchington, so anywhere in the Thanet area would be good.

    There are 3 that i can think of 1 at ramsgate near the manston tesco.
    1 just the otherside of pfizer on the way to canterbury and another on the main drag between sandwich and dover sorry there are no road names but as you come into ramsgate past manston airport youll see the first one and then follow signs for sandwich and the other carboots are sign posted

    The one near the Manston Tesco is the Lord of the Manor one on Haine Road, just near the 2 roundabouts. Not sure if it has started yet this year.
    The one near Pfizer is Drews Field on the A257, coming from Thanet go past Pfizer and at the next roundabout go right and its a few hundred yards along the A257. Not sure if this one has started up yet.
    The last one is the Tilmanstone one at Barville Farm on the A256 between Sandwich and Dover. Go past Pfizer, straight across at the first roundabout, then right at the next one (by the Water Gardens) then follow the A256 for a couple of miles. Think its right at the second roundabout but will be signposted.
    This one is definately on as i had a stall there last week :D
    Errrr...come back later ;)

    I know this might be a bit far....

    BUT...The Paddock Wood bootfair (Hop Farm car park bit) is usually a good one if the weather is good.
    As is the one nearer Maidstone, at the Sissinghurst Cricket Ground...pretty full and lots of different stuff :)

    I do it all because I'm scared.
