One of the biggest regular car boots on the south coast, right on the racecourse. Sellers set up early, and it runs long into the afternoon.
Markets worth the trip
Crowborough Farmers' Market
A regular farmers' market on Croft Road with a solid, reliable lineup of local producers.
Hastings Old Town Market
A lively Saturday market through the Old Town — fresh produce, artisan bread, handmade crafts and vintage finds, with plenty of independent shops and cafés to wander into either side of it.
Heathfield Farmers' Market
A monthly farmers' market in the Co-op car park — local produce without needing to travel far into the countryside for it.
Icklesham Car Boot Sale
A car boot just outside Rye on the road to Hastings — smaller and easier to actually walk round properly than the bigger county sales.
Lewes Farmers' Market
A weekly farmers' market at the historic Market Tower — local producers, baked goods and seasonal produce, right in the middle of town.
Old Brewery Yard Market
A monthly market in a Hastings courtyard — fruit and veg, artisan food, street food, vintage, arts and crafts and jewellery, run in partnership with a local enterprise centre.
Seaford Car Boot Sale
A seafront car boot on the Esplanade — good for an early wander before the town wakes up properly.
Uckfield Farmers' Market
Monthly market at The Hub, in the Luxford car park — good size, easy parking, straightforward morning out.
Wadhurst Farmers' Market
An indoor farmers' market at the Commemoration Hall — good option on a wetter Saturday when you still want to go and look at something.
Cliftonville Farmers' Market
An open-air Sunday market near Margate, running most of the year bar December.
Detling Antiques, Vintage and Collectors Fair
Kent's biggest antiques and vintage fair — 300 to 400 sellers across a full weekend at the Kent Showground. Worth planning a whole day around, not a quick in-and-out.
Detling Sunday Car Boot
The biggest indoor-only car boot in the South East — over 200 stalls, every Sunday, all year round, whatever the weather.
Hayes Street Farm Boot Fair
A well-established boot fair on the Kent/London border, running every couple of weeks through the summer.
Hop Farm Boot Fair
An afternoon car boot at the Hop Farm — a different rhythm to the early-morning ones, good if you're not a 7am person.
Rochester Farmers' Market
A Sunday farmers' market in the historic city centre — good excuse to combine market browsing with a wander round Rochester itself.
Apps Court Car Boot Sale
A long-running Sunday car boot by the Thames at Walton-on-Thames — a proper mix of second-hand goods, antiques and collectibles.
Hook Road Car Boot Sale
One of the biggest car boots in the South East — up to 900 stalls on a good Sunday. Go early if you want first look.
Mytchett Centre Car Boot
A twice-weekly car boot near Camberley, running all year regardless of season.
Old Woking Car Boot
A smaller, friendlier monthly car boot at the community centre — easy free parking, no crowds to fight through.
Ford Airfield Market
A twice-weekly market on the old airfield site — decent size, easy to get to, worth a regular look rather than a one-off.
Shoreham-by-Sea Car Boot Sale
A Sunday car boot near the seafront, running through summer.
West Wantley Farm Car Boot
A regular Saturday morning car boot on a working farm just outside Storrington.
