A POPULAR car boot sale that takes place near Bradley Stoke is due to re-open for the 2018 season later this month. The weekly Trench Lane Boot Sale, held on Sundays on a farmland site opposite the entrance to Woodlands Golf Club (BS32 4JZ), will open for the first time this year on 8th April, subject to ground conditions. As in previous years, the sale will open to buyers at 7am. Trading goes on until around
3pm, although the number of buyers usually drops off after midday. Sellers are charged £7 for a car or £10 for a van. For buyers, there is an entrance charge of £1 for a car or 50p for a pedestrian. Free parking is provided in adjacent fields. The organisers ask sellers to arrive no earlier than 6am (when the site opens), to avoid traffic queues forming on Trench Lane. The final sale in 2018 will take place on Sunday 28th October.
