Festival Car Boot Sale at Festival Car Boot Field, Palmers Road, Wootton is the kind of Sunday event that works whether you are trying to declutter, bargain-hunt or simply wander with a coffee and see what turns up. Sellers arrive from 1pm, buyers from 2pm, pitches are £5 and parking is £1, so the whole thing keeps a clear, no-nonsense shape from the outset.
It helps that the poster does not stop at rows of car boots. Cake Lady and Wight Whippy are both listed, which means there is at least some reward for the people who have come mostly for a nose about rather than a mission. Dogs are welcome too, provided they stay on a short lead, which tends to make these field sales feel a bit more like a local outing and a bit less like a hard-edged scramble for bargains.
Wootton is well placed for events like this because it is easy to dip into without giving over the entire day. If you fancy the seller side, the price is low enough to make a clear-out tempting, especially when the garage is starting to win.
