Colchester Car Boot Sale

Sold here today for the first time on Sunday with some friends and thought it was excellent. Very well organised and staff are lovely x

One of the best car boots I've ever sold at. Extremely busy and very well organised. Sellers get an hour to set up in peace here and it makes such a difference. Hardstanding ground too so it's great for buggies and wheelchairs.

Had a fantastic day selling here will be returning. Staff very polite and timings are not ridiculously early.

Not great. Been to many sales at other locations over the years but this one was poor. Expensive before 11am and not enough sellers to make it worth while. Overheard trader swearing at a young man trying to do a deal.Rude response from organiser won't improve things. It was a lovely sunny day. Other boot sale I visited same morning was twice the size and 50p all morning.Obviously if it was a off morning my mind could potentially have been changed, but instead of Sorry you didn't have a good experience" and outlining reasons. Organiser resorts to calling my review stupid.Pathetic.Not my fault its not a good event and too expensive."

Not the best car boot by any means, food places need to make sure they follow basic food safety. Handling raw bacon then filling up a bucket of water with the same gloves on touching the water. Not only that, then handling money with the same gloves and straight back to cooking food handing out rolls etc. some vendors were very racist towards people saying ‘check that the items still in the box’ after someone who did not speak English as good as them picked it up to view what it was! Shocking, this was not the first instance of seeing/ hearing this about people who were not stereotypically British. Shame to see, especially when one of the possible customers herd the comment made by the vendor and questioned it, to which the vendor backed down and walked off.

Worked well for us. 8am start with sellers being allowed on site at 9am so a whole unhindered hour to get set up. The bootsale is on a carpark so on a hard standing and good facilities onsite.

20 pitches only okay a cold day but charged £3 per person to get in total waste of time

Not enough people probably the wrong place been 5 times never sell anything people just wondering around not buying

Hard ground so great now that fields are wet in the morning and you don’t get harassed by dealers as you are setting up as no buyers on site for first hour. I made a nice few dollars when I sold here last week. Recommended

Great boot sale in my opinion, much better than expected! Sold here several times over the last few weeks and it is very busy so made good money. Buyers are generally friendly and willing to pay the right money for decent gear!
