Advantages: There was a nice garden centre nearby

Disadvantages: When it's been raining prepare for ur car to get stuck

We decided to go to this car boot as we'd seen signs everywhere advertising it. It was 15 mile away from us but we decided to go and see what it was like as it said carboot/Market.
when we pulled up at about 9am the field was practically empty. There were hardy any sellers or buyers and the market consisted of about 3 stalls.
This one was the first one of the season so I was expecting it to be a lot busier.
We were there all of 10 minutes if that. Total waste of £1.40 entrance fee.
As it had started to rain a lot of people headed for their cars and trying to leave the field suddenly became bedlam. There was no order or staff trying to sort it out, it was just a free for all with the bigger cars I.e 4x4's pushing their way out first with the littler cars all getting stuck in the mud. We also got stuck. Rear wheel drive cars were having a nitemare.
Think more organising needs putting in place. The field is on a slope. The entrance should really be at the top with the exit at the bottom making it easier in bad weather.

Very very disappointing won't be going back.

Summary: Won't be going again
