Date set for Berwickshire's biggest car boot sale

Drawing in 134 sellers from 28 different postcode areas, Foulden car boot sale is one of the largest in the area.

The village of Foulden lies in beautiful East Berwickshire only 5 miles from the seaside town of Berwick-Upon-Tweed.

With sellers setting up from 9am hailing from Foulden to Consett - 91 miles away - 58 per cent of sellers in 2023 stated that they had previously sold at this car boot sale with some saying “about 20 years ago”. This statement is far from false as this year marks the 30th annual car boot sale.

A committee consisting of Community councillors and dedicated volunteers make sure the day runs smoothly. The playing field has a playpark, ideal for families and toilets that are regularly cleaned.

Parking, including disabled parking, is plentiful while free buckets for donations are present as the community raises funds for local defibrillators.

The event comes with caterers (so we do not allow further caterers in) in the form of local resident Kim providing warm drinks and home bakes, monies raised go back into the community. A yearly tradition at this event is the well known Forte Bros ice cream and catering van. They come armed with ice cream, good food and sunshine!

New for 2023 saw the first local makers' market. A way to celebrate and showcase our local talents, residents from Foulden, Mordington and Lamberton are invited to showcase their makes for buyers to purchase.

Not a day to be missed so get the date in the diary!

Sunday 1st of September 2024.

Sellers from 9am, buyers from 10.30am.

£10 for a car, £15 for a small van / car+trailer, £20 for a large van.
