Car Boot Sales
When the rest of the country were all rushing
to Car Boot Sales fifteen or twenty years ago there were simply none to attend in Rotherham or indeed in South Yorkshire. Rather than applauding enterprise and drawing comfort from the
large number of visitors these events generated (and the potential money spent in the area) all the local authorities around here used their market charters (usually granted in the

Things are somewhat better these days although from time to time threats are still aimed at the local booters by authority. Many schools hold car boot sales to boost school funds whilst a car boot sale is held from time to time on Sundays at Rotherham General Hospital for charitable purposes. Newman School have rebranded their indoor car boot sales as a "Parisian Style Fleamarket" Tel. 01709 828262 for more details.
