Car Boot Sales in Waterford?

Judgement Day

Hard to find anything happening in Waterford, I know it's early but were there any regular venues last year? Contact details would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Theres one in Kilmacthomas every second sunday!

Not exactly in Waterford but isn't there one over in Grannagh behind the Ferry Bar.

I've never understood why a city of nearly 50,000 hasn't got a permanent "car boot sale"
venue. If it were done correctly it could be done with the farmers market, childrens entertainment and be a few pleasant hours on a weekend.

You heard it here first...mike is gonna set up the inaugural deise car boot sale.

Fair play.

Hey all...

Never been to a car boot sale as a seller but going thru the attic recently and have lots stuff to get rid off (mostly DVD's), may as well try for some return on them..

can I ask what is the set up? How much do you pay to sell?

I assume by the thread Kilmac is the closest to here?

PM Mike65 he's setting one up.

jayboi

Fair play Mike the city needs more people like you.

mike65

Oh shit! :pac:

More seriously if I had the money to set up something like the above and employ staff I really would. Its little things like this that give life and community to a town/city.

Ive been to the one in kill before x-mas, it was pretty good, its in the halk in kill so it was a cost per table, i think is was about 20euro.

Hello lads (and lassies?) - I was looking for less cryptic info. Last poster in particular - where in the hell is kill? I need hard info for publicising to others on my blog here: http://collectireland.wordpress.com/ Thanks!

Kill about 15 Km west of Waterford south-east of Kilmacthomas.

Put this in your blog and smoke it!

Located just 3km from Waterford city, the Grannagh Car Boot sale, with it's views of the new bridge, and plenty of parking at the site of the old Ferry Bar is the ideal location. This car boot sale is also a craft fair and farmers market.
Open every Saturday 9-3 and Sunday 1-7 .
For more details, ring 087-7575408

BTW, I'm in no way involved, I just passed the sign yesterday.

I went up to the Car Boot Sale in Grannagh yesterday at half 2 and everyone was packing up... it's actually 9-3 on Sunday!! Didn't look like much there unless you're into fresh fruit and veg, but can only assume they were packing up early because it was quite misty and no-one was around.

Oh crap. So sorry about that.

Was at it yesterday (the one in the Ferry Bar) absolutely nothing there to be honest, unless you were looking for veg!

No worries CardBord!

Yeah, very disappointing!

Has anyone been to the Grannagh Market recently? Really need to shift a bit of stuff but am worried that Grannagh isn't the place for my tat. Is the Kill one any good? My plan was to go to Unyoke in Wexford but by the time I put Diesel in the van and pay my entry fee I'll be working off a big loss, lol! Not to mention it opens at 6am! I'd be selling DVDs, Souvenir kind of stuff and t-shirts that I've designed myself and had printed!

I though the Kill one was good, its handy that's its inside and you can have a cuppa too. I've never made it to the grannagh one, even though its only a few fields away.

You don't know what time Kill starts at do you? And if I could just show and pay for a table?

Kill starts at either 9 or 10, I'm fairly sure it's 10 though and ends at 2!

edit: Yep, it's 10. To Book a Stall Contact 086-8569358

batm!ke

I just text that number there, no Kill market today, back next week, €10 for a table that they supply. Sounds good, will probably go next week! Mite pop over to Grannagh for a look today.

Yeah, Kill is every second week.

Is the Kill one people selling their own stuff from their houses that they're gettin rid of or crafts that individuals do? I should really pop out there myself.

wmpdd3

A bit of both, mostly people clearing out their house. A few stalls with cakes etc and a few people with plants and knitted stuff. They have a little cafe place there too
