This is a family-run business where the customer is King & nothing is too much trouble. Come early or late, you will ALWAYS get a pitch. We are open 52 weeks a year, come rain or shine, we never close. So what if the weather is being 'British'? - Bring a gazebo and we'll give you some extra space FREE on rainy days. Go on be - eccentric!! There's always good catering vans at sensible prices and real Barista coffee to be had. On Sundays we have an inflatables area & rides for children to play away while you stroll the aisles for bargains.
There are 3 Market days at Hempsted, Wednesdays, Saturdays & Sundays. Saturdays and Sundays you can lie in and come as late as you like, you will always get a pitch and a bargain.
WEDNESDAYS is the Flea Market and Car Boot, a mecca for Dealers from a wide area of the South West. Regularly frequented by Antiques & Collectables Sellers both locally and from as far as Taunton, Bristol, Weston, Hereford, Swansea, South Wales, Stratford, Redditch, Ross-on-Wye and Birmingham. Whilst there is a strong Trade presence, this Car Boot is popular with the public as it is the only mid-week market for hundreds of miles.
SATURDAY is a Car Boot with a difference. Personal Car Boot Sellers are always welcome. A traditional market place and what is more, Buyer parking is FREE! Why go anywhere else? Do you fancy yourself as a 'Great British Bake-Off' Champ? Well, find out by bringing your products down on a Saturday and give it a go!
SUNDAY is Car Boot pure & simple, a complete mix of everything eclectic from Antiques to Zed-Beds. Empty your lofts, attics, cupboards and garden sheds and come on down and convert your old stuff into cash!!
Gates open at 06:00 on Wednesdays & Sundays
07:00 on Saturdays
Gloucester Car Boot & Flea Market Is Different. Why?
Well we do things differently, of course.
Firstly, there's Stadium lighting for those dark Winter mornings so buying and selling is easy early without the need for torches.
Then, there's Bookable Spaces, so no matter what time you decide to turn up, your Pitch is guaranteed.
Thirdly, you can pay in advance by Credit or Debit Card. Yes, Cards at a Car Boot - whatever next?
Then there's Special Offers to reduce costs - As much space as you want on the grass and Season/Saver Tickets! Yep, buy 5 weeks and get your 6th week totally FREE!!
Another innovation is Pop-Up Gazebo's, if you don't bring your own, we have them for hire at just £5 a day! Thumb your nose at the showers! For those new to car booting, we also rent Tables for £5 a day. Lastly, we believe in old fashioned customer service - remember that forgotten art? You matter to us and your satisfaction is important. Regulars are treated like the valued customers they should be. Become a Regular and you will find your favourite Pitch reserved for you - and no towel needed to be left on your sunbed either!
Weather
The unavoidable fact is that we live on an Island and 'enjoy' 4 Seasons in one day sometimes. But at Hempsted Meadows, we never close! Rain or shine, if you turn up, you can pitch out. Some Seller's don't mind a bit of rain, especially those selling Plants or Vegetables! But for those who are prepared to shake a fist at the rain, we have over 30 Pop-Up Gazebos for hire! For just £5 a day & a £15 returnable deposit, you can laugh at a shower or two and keep on selling regardless of what Mother Nature has in store. Ask at the Gate on entry or book in advance by phone.
