What if it rains on Car Boot Day?
A little rain never stops us!
We will usually still be open (unless there are extreme conditions such as high winds or very heavy rain).
However, attendance may be lower in poor weather, so we recommend checking the forecast before setting off.
Why not make a day of it?
After your car boot visit, enjoy everything Farmer Palmer’s Farm Park has to offer.
It’s a great way to turn a morning bargain hunt into a full family day out.
This summer we will open our gates to bargain hunters and super sellers! It’s a great reason to have a clear-out at home, make some space, and make a few £s too! In addition, you could it as an opportunity to teach children how to make pocket money. Car Boot Sales will run from 29th April 2025 and they will run every Tuesday until 28th October 2026 (weather dependent).

Hi Gail,
I am so sorry to hear that! I shall have a word with the team to see if they have come across it. I have your contact through this post and will get in touch if it turns up. Fingers crossed we will find it!
Thank you so much- we’re on holiday in the area until 4th sept. It’s bad enough loosing the money, being a pensioner, but it’s cancelling the cards that’s taken so long to sort. I’m not giving up hope yet though! Really appreciate your response.
