Sell your used belongings!

2025 Carboot Sale Season!

Our Sunday Carboot season will run from Sunday 2nd March to late October 2025

End of Wednesday Car Boot Sale

It is with great sadness that we must announce the end of our beloved Wednesday Car Boot Sale at Blaydon Rugby Club. This decision has not been made lightly, and we know how much this event has meant to so many in our community.

Unfortunately, due to Newcastle City Council now charging us for operating the boot sale, we can no longer sustain it as a viable event. As a community-focused club, we have always strived to keep costs low for both sellers and buyers, ensuring this was a welcoming space for everyone. However, these additional charges mean we can no longer continue without it becoming a financial strain on the club.

We want to express our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has supported the Wednesday Car Boot Sale over the years—our loyal sellers, bargain hunters, and volunteers who have made it such a special part of our club’s weekly life. Your support has been incredible, and we are truly sorry to have to bring it to an end.

While this is the end of our Wednesday sales, we hope to see you at our Sunday Car Boot Sale, which will continue as usual. Please spread the word, and let’s keep the Sunday tradition alive!

Thank you for your understanding and support. We share in your disappointment, but we hope to continue welcoming you to Blaydon Rugby Club in other ways.

We open on a Sunday from 05:00 till approximately 12:00. These opening times are for both buyers and sellers. There is no need to message asking if it’s on or not, we always endeavour to open, weather permitting; however, any changes are announced in advance on the website.

No, unfortunately we don’t.

We do not operate a booking system; first come, first served basis.

Due to operating on a first come, first served basis, it is not possible to give a time that would guarantee entry. Most sellers arrive on a Sunday between 05:00am and 07:00am; and Wednesday between 08:00am and 09:00am. A number do arrive later and get a pitch, but obviously the later you leave it, the higher the chance of us filling up. We do everything we can to get everyone in.

The easiest solution is to arrive together. It is not always possible to save an adjacent pitch on entry as we operate on a first come, first served basis.

We do what we can to support local charities. Please email contact@blaydonrfc.co.uk and we will do what we can to help. Please understand that we receive quite a few requests so cannot always offer pitches. Thank you for understanding.

It is fine if you bring along unwanted gifts that are deemed new. Our Car Boot Sales are very well attended because our customers enjoy picking up their second hand and retro gear!

Fake/counterfeit items, food and drink, cigarettes, knives/weapons of any description, fireworks and alcohol are all prohibited. Apologies but we have a zero food/drink policy at the Sale due to there being a tender system in place (this is carried out at the beginning of each season).

We request that you do not message us asking this question. Generally, we are on site when these messages come through and do not have time to check. It is also a difficult question to answer, as we can never predict numbers due to not operating a booking system. Please come along and look for yourself what’s on offer on the day.

All unsold items MUST be taken home (“leaving for people to have for free” is not an acceptable excuse and it costs the club too much money to dispose of the fly tipping).

We always attempt to open, there are no covered areas to shelter from the weather. Some sellers do sometimes bring a small gazebo. Any changes are announced on the website.

Dogs are permitted on site but must be on their leash and you MUST clean up after them if they go to the ‘toilet’, bins are on site.

Parking for buyers is behind the rugby stand at the top of the site. Disabled parking is available; however, you must produce a valid parking pass to display in your windscreen. As disabled parking is limited, please respect those who do require this facility.

Yes, the toilets are opened for the car boot sale only and are checked and maintained regularly. We ask that you respect this facility and leave them in the condition you would expect to find them. Should you see anything requiring our attention, please inform a member of staff.

No, there is however a garage just along the road from the Club that has a cash machine you can use.

Yes, on a Sunday. We have onsite facilities to grab a bacon sarnie, some chips and a cuppa, etc.

We respectfully ask buyers to allow sellers time and space to set up their stall – please do not look into their belongings until they are ready to sell. This can be overwhelming for sellers and we all want to enjoy our day at the boot sale. Please be respectful to each other.

Anyone caught stealing will be asked to leave the car boot sale with immediate effect and not be permitted to return. We want everyone to enjoy their time at the Blaydon Car Boot Sale and hope to see you all soon.
