Car Boot Sales in Essex

"Slightly more out of the way than most boot sales, however very cheaply priced and much larger. Finding good things is slightly difficult and tedious amidst lots of people selling new goods, but there is gold to be found. (I found this purple Vera Pelle bag for £5. Not in the best condition but still a decent find nonetheless!!) There are toilets on site and a burger place also selling drinks so amenities are sorted. Getting here by public transport is a bit of a pain in the butt, so here are some tips I gathered: • Chigwell station is the nearest tube/TfL stop. • You cannot get to Chigwell directly from Stratford, you have to get 2 central line trains. • You must catch the Woodford-Hainault (or reverse) shuttle from one of the two said stations, which stops at Chigwell. • Once you get to Chigwell station, you can walk the entire way. Some of the path closer to the bootsale is very leafy, so be careful on the road. Overall a good bootsale, worth exploring but too far out of my way for me to come back to regularly. Still recommend if you’re somewhat close by."

"One of my favourite bootsales, It’s on concrete so you don’t have to worry about muddy grass fields and anything like that which I like, however the stalls and very apart in each row and you do have to zig zag across or walk up right and then down left. If they spaced them closer it would be asked to walk and probably fit a lot more stalls!! It normally takes up the entire side of the car park"

"I went here today, March 8th and even though there were only about 25 sellers I got amazing bargains. I haven’t been to a boot fair for about 10 years and I was so pleasantly surprised. I got so many bargains and the vibe there with the organisers and sellers is really friendly. I’d definitely go back."
