Car boot sales in Cardiff
5 regular sales within 15 miles of Cardiff, nearest first: when they run, when buyers are let in and what a pitch costs.
The nearest regular car boot sale to Cardiff is Llanishen RFC Car Boot Sale, 3 miles from the centre. It runs on Saturdays and Sundays. IKEA Cardiff Car Boot Sale, 1 mile away, holds occasional sales on set dates (none left this year). Across all five, three run on Sundays and two on Saturdays, with one midweek (some run on more than one day). All of them close for the winter, so once their seasons end you will need to look further afield. Sellers typically pay £8 for a car pitch.
