Great car boot sale! So much room for sellers. Great location and an area for food and drinks. Perfect morning wandering around and picking up bargains.
Slow for a bank holiday, but a good spot for buying and selling, all fleemarket goods 2nd hand and some new. You never know what you might find from antiques to electrical. Both tested and untested, and a good few house clearances selling items. The only way you'd know is giving it a go, or popping down n checking it out for yourself. Open wednesdays and sundays wheather permitting. Hard standing. So get yourself down there plenty of bargains to found
Honestly, can’t believe they charge a £1 to get in when there’s barely anything there. Bought absolutely nothing. Nothing worth buying. When it was under the other management there were plenty of stores selling new stuff like cakes, sweets and bags and so on. Just a small space selling second hand stuff only. Not worth going at all really disappointing how it has become. And it was a busy environment with loads of different sellers a few years back until covid hit then they had to stop etc. charging a pound is ridiculous just to look around and it’s not really a good plan if you want people to buy as the stall holder pay a fee. There was a waste of journey and pound for nothing and even stamped hand like your at fair grounds. Especially, when people struggle for money a £1 means a lot these days for most people.

Today I was truly blessed , the carpark was full and I used overflow carpark , due to wet grounds my car got stuck . The support from security at Hempstead car boot was amazingly infact outstandingThey gave me resdy range and full support my car was pulled out of the wet groundNone of the staff would take the donation of £20 as a donation to say thank youI cried I was in shock very kind people out there xx
£1 entry for a small car boot, there is more visitors than vendors, would be great when it gets as many sellers as it used to before it closed down a few years ago.
