A HAMPSHIRE village is gearing up to hold its 37th car boot sale in aid of Home-Start Winchester.

The event will take place in Wood Lane, Bramdean, on Bank Holiday Monday, August 26.

Gates will open to the public at 8am, with sellers able to arrive from 7.15am to set up their displays.

Event organiser and Home-Start trustee Chrissie Barlow said: “We survived a deluge of rain one year and then a heatwave the next, but still eager booters and buyers made their way to us.

“Only two car boots have ever been disrupted, one due to Covid and another to monsoon rainfall, so we are keeping our fingers and toes crossed that we avoid any climatic extremes after this summer’s bonkers weather.”

Directions will be posted from the A31 and A272 and refreshments, disabled parking and a portaloo will all be available on site.

Seller fees are £10 per car, £15 per van or trailer or double pitch (cash only), while buyers will make a donation to Home-Start volunteers manning the entrance gate.
