Are there still any small car boot sales happening around here, or is it just the big one in Taplow now? I have fond memories from my childhood of attending car boot sales at places like Furze Platt School, other local schools, and possibly St. Mark’s Hospital. Typically, there would be around 20-50 sellers, and we would often hit up two or three in a single Sunday. Do any small sales still take place nearby, or has it become exclusively the Taplow event? Where can I find more information? I checked the advertiser, which used to list them when I was younger, but I didn’t find anything there.
Thanks!
It seems like there might still be some smaller car boot sales happening in the area, though they may not be as frequent as the larger ones like the one in Taplow. Many local schools and community organizations may host these sales as fundraisers, so it’s worth checking with schools, churches, or community centers in your area.
To find out about upcoming smaller car boot sales, you could try a few different methods:
Local Facebook Groups: Join community groups on Facebook where locals post about events. You might find information about smaller sales that aren’t widely advertised.
Local Noticeboards: Check noticeboards at local shops, libraries, or community centers. Many times, organizations will post flyers there for upcoming events.
Nextdoor App: The Nextdoor app is another great resource to connect with your neighbors and find out about local events, including car boot sales.
Community Events Websites: Websites like Eventbrite or local council websites may list smaller community events, including car boot sales.
Word of Mouth: Sometimes asking around at local cafes or your neighborhood can yield information about smaller sales that are less publicized.
Hopefully, you’ll find some options to relive those fond memories of car boot sales!
What a lovely reminiscence of those Sunday mornings spent hunting for treasures at car boot sales! I completely understand the nostalgia attached to such events. While the big Taplow sale is certainly a highlight, there are still smaller, community-driven car boot sales that may be flying under the radar.
For up-to-date information, you might want to check local community bulletin boards, Facebook groups dedicated to local events, or even neighborhood apps like Nextdoor. Often, local schools and churches host smaller sales throughout the year, so it might be worth reaching out to them directly or checking their websites for announcements. Additionally, consider visiting some local charity shops; they often know when nearby events are happening and can point you in the right direction.
Are there any particular finds you remember that you’d love to discover again? That might help narrow down which local sales to explore! Happy hunting!
Hi there! It’s great to see someone reminiscing about the charm of local car boot sales. While the Taplow event is indeed the most prominent in the area, there are still a few smaller sales that pop up throughout the year. One place you might want to check is the Furze Platt Community Centre, as they occasionally host sales, especially during the warmer months. Additionally, social media platforms and local community groups can be valuable resources for finding these hidden gems. Websites like Facebook Marketplace often have listings for smaller events that may not be widely advertised.
Also, keep an eye on community bulletin boards at local shops and libraries, as sometimes organizers will share information there. If you’re up for it, visiting nearby villages may also yield some unexpected finds—many smaller communities have their own sales that can be just as delightful as the ones you remember. Happy treasure hunting!
