Many thanks to the Sellers, Buyers, Browsers and especially our Helpers at the Lions Speech House, May 2019 car boot sale.
What great weather we had and what a massive turn-out in this beautiful location.
We are very grateful to Mr and Mrs Hands of the Speech House Hotel for the use of the field, which was in first class condition for the boot sale.
There is no need for sellers to pre-book.
Just turn up on the day with your fee ready- £6 per car.
We collect the fees as you enter the field.
Enter the field via the gate on the Cinderford to Coleford Road.
The Lions Speech House Car Boot Sale is run by volunteers. After covering the costs (mainly the toilets and advertising) all the money made goes back into the local community.
We therefore suggest a donation from buyers of £1 per car. If you have no change when you drive in, please drop the donation in a collecting bucket later.
Please park as directed by the parking stewards.
The Lions Speech House Car Boot Sale will take place on Bank Holiday Monday – May 27th. The event will take place Weather Permitting. In the event of a bad weather forecast, check back here before setting out.
