The car boot sale constantly named best in UK – 100 stalls and open on Monday | UK | News

Fans of car boot sales often debate online which might be the best in the country, and one event has taken the crown more than once. Car boot sales are popular across the country, and people often head there to find serious discounts on household items, vintage clothing, vinyl records and more. They have been widely used in the UK for generations and remain popular to this day, with no signs of them going anywhere anytime soon.

If you’re looking for the best car boot sale in the UK, many say you’ll find it in Leicester. In fact, it was ranked among the best by AA. The Croft Car Boot Sale takes place on Sundays and Bank Holiday Mondays and features around 100 vendors, with plenty of discounts offered to those who visit. Originally starting as a family business in the 1970s, the company has grown significantly since then.

Described as a “bargain hunter’s dream”, it has grown through word of mouth and customer loyalty and is now one of the largest car boot sales in the region.

In addition to dining options, there are also things to do for kids, so you can spend the day outside if the weather permits. Adults can take part in the car boot sale for just £1, while children get in for free.

For those wishing to sell, car and 4×4 entry fee is £7. Meanwhile, according to the car boot sale’s website, small vans cost as little as £10, while larger vans cost up to £15.

In addition to on-site food service, there is also a bouncy castle, carousel and ATVs for younger visitors.

And the market has received great reviews online from previous visitors. One TripAdvisor user shared: “Held several times this season, this run is undoubtedly the biggest and best in the area. It’s on a level field and there is disabled parking near the door. The staff were helpful by carrying a few heavy purchases to my car, always polite and nothing is too much trouble. The food service is great with a menu to suit all tastes.”

Another said: “Extremely well run and organized car boot sale. Good food vans and a great coffee van. Clean restroom building. Reasonable entry price. Probably the biggest car boot sale locally.”

A third wrote: “This is a fantastic car boot. Much larger than any other you’ll find in Leicestershire. Good mix of regular traders and people who clean their own homes. Entry fee very reasonable for both buyer and seller.”

While it’s been crowned the best car boot sale in the UK by the AA and scores of social media users, there are other great options for bargain hunters in other parts of the country.

The second best car boot sale in the UK, ranked by the AA, is Measham Car Boot in Measham, Leicestershire. Meanwhile, third place was taken by the Norcross Car Boot in Thornton-Cleveleys, Lancashire.

The list also includes Norcross Car Boot Sale, Kiln End Car Boot, Ashley Health Car Boot and Bolton Car Boot.
