Carboot / Flea Market Guide

Preston's busy carboot/flea market

BOOKING PROCEDURE
If you wish to book a stall, you have two options:

1 You can call into the Market Office, located on the Balcony of the Indoor Market between 7.00 a.m and 8.30 a.m on the day you wish to trade
2 You can reserve a position by calling into the Market Office from 2.00 p.m the previous week. Payment is due at the time of booking and is non refundable. Car boot spaces and the Tuesday market are the most popular and on these days you are advised if possible to book in advance.

All stalls pre-booked must be occupied in full by 8.30am. Any stall still vacant after this deadline may be re-let.

WHAT CAN YOU SELL?
You can now sell both new goods and second hand goods. The sale of food is currently not permitted. The sale of BB Guns and knives or other products that we consider offensive is not permitted. Markets Officers will ultimately determine what may constitute an offensive product.
