Car boot sales are popular events but can only be organised by sporting, political, social or charitable organisations. As car boot sales are classed as markets, the Council has a policy for licensing such events. Table Top Sales also come into this category and are subject to the same rules and regulation as car boot sales.

It is important that organisers notify the Council of their intention to hold a car boot sale or table top sale. In the Council's role as a Market Authority, all organisations who intend to hold a car boot sale or table top sale within Wakefield District boundaries, must apply for approval.   

To apply for a Car Boot licence, you will need to complete the CB5 - Temporary Markets Car Boot Application Form (see 'Downloads').

For further information on the fees, licences and other policies and procedures regarding car boot sales please see the CB6 - Regulations document in 'Downloads'.
