There is nothing quite like arriving at a car boot sale without knowing what you might find. One stall might be filled with children’s toys and clothes, while the next has vintage homeware, collectables, books or furniture waiting to be given a new home.
Several regular car boot sales operate in and around Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch during 2026. Some begin early in the morning, while Hurn and Poole Stadium offer later starting times.
Dates, prices and cancellations can change at short notice. Dorset Lifestyle does not organise these events, so please check with the individual organiser before travelling or attempting to sell.
