Car Boot Sales

Car Boot sales are not licensed as such. There is a requirement that the Council is informed that they are to take place.

How to apply

You can apply to authorise a car boot sale through the GOV.UK website:

You must give the Council at least one months' notice.

Alternatively you can send your Car Boot Sales notice to the Legal Services Manager.

The notice should include:

  • the full name and address of the person intending to hold the market
  • the day or days on which it is proposed that the market shall be held and its proposed opening and closing times
  • the site on which it is proposed that it shall be held
  • the full name and address of the occupier of that site, if he is not the person intending to hold the market.

The notice requirements may not apply if the proceeds of sale are to be applied solely or principally for charitable, social, sporting or political purposes.
