Car boot sales are returning to Petersfield from spring, relaunching the three Rs - reduce, reuse, and recycle.

Organised by Petersfield Town Council, the first event will kick off on Sunday, April 27 at The Avenue Pavilion. It will be a regular occurrence, taking place on the fourth Sunday of the month to August.

The initiative has played a key role in helping local residents repurpose unwanted items, keeping them out of landfills and into the hands of new owners. Over the years, these sales have not only reduced waste but have also nurtured a thriving culture of sustainability and second-hand shopping in Petersfield.

A Petersfield Town Council spokesperson said: “This year, The Avenue Pavilion will once again be transformed into a bustling marketplace, with sellers eager to declutter their homes and buyers searching for unique finds at affordable prices.

“Whether you’re looking to sell pre-loved belongings, hunt for a hidden treasure, or simply soak in the lively atmosphere, there’s something for everyone. “

The Council is offering designated ‘Upcycle Pitches’ free of charge, allowing individuals to give away items for free, fostering a culture of generosity while ensuring that reusable goods don’t go to waste. In addition, table pitches are available for those without a car, making the event more accessible to the community.

Whether you’re selling, swapping, or searching for a bargain, Petersfield’s car boot sales offer an enjoyable and environmentally friendly way to spend a Sunday morning. Sellers are encouraged to book their spots in advance to secure a pitch.
