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, we have 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 us of their intention to hold a car boot sale or table top sale. We have sole Market Franchise rights to regulate the operation of markets throughout the Metropolitan District. All organisations who intend to hold a car boot sale or table top sale within Wakefield District boundaries, must apply for approval.

Car Boot Sales List

Due to the seasonal nature of these events there are no car boot sales during the winter months.  A list of car boot sales will be available again once applications are received for the spring/summer season in 2012
