Good to know

Bank holiday Mondays: Bowlee Car Boot Sale and Market and Adam's Chelford Car Boot open on bank holiday Mondays as well as their usual days.
Early or late: Warrington's Favourite Carboot Sale lets buyers in first, from 5.30am; for a lie-in, Glossop North End AFC Car Boot & Table Top Sale doesn’t open to buyers until 11am.
