Date announced for re-opening of Gloucester’s car boot sale
Gloucester’s highly popular Car Boot Sale will reopen on Sunday 20 July, according to the new operating company appointed by the City Council to run it. It says it will then trade every Wednesday and Sunday, with a “new goods only” free-to-enter Saturday Market being added in the future.
Capital Boot Sales won the lease for the market at Hempsted Meadows, to the south of the city, following a rigorous marketing process earlier this year and says it has been “overwhelmed by the number of supportive messages it has received from buyers and sellers who are looking forward to using the site”.
A spokesman for the company said: “We will have a tiered price entry system for buyers that will enable us to achieve greater footfall than previously seen.
He added: ”We have managed to keep the main buyers and sellers prices the same. However, we have introduced some optional extras such as early set up for sellers and early entrance for buyers.”
“We are sure people will be absolutely delighted that the Boot Sale is back”, said a spokesperson for Gloucester City Council. “What’s just as pleasing is its going to be in the hands of an experienced operator with big plans for the future.”
Traders who would like to apply for a pitch are invited to contact Capital Boot Sales directly - and it’s asking buyers and sellers to follow and like its Facebook page in order to receive the latest information about the re-opening:
